policy after the attributes of the authentication or encryption type selected.

access point, other proprietary routers and Clients use the same
algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number.
Non-Brocade clients and devices need to enter WEP keys manually as
hexadecimal numbers. The access point and its target client(s) must use
the same pass key to interoperate.
Keys #1-4 Use the Key #1-4 fields to specify key numbers. The key can be either a
hexidecimal or ASCII depending on which option is selected from the
drop-down menu. For WEP 64 (40-bit key), the keys are 10 hexadecimal
characters in length or 5 ASCII characters. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the
keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length or 13 ASCII characters.
Select one of these keys for activation by clicking its radio button. The
access point and its target client(s) must use the same key to
interoperate.
