WEP 64 Deployment Considerations

Before defining a WEP 64 supported configuration on a WLAN, refer to the following deployment
guideline to ensure the configuration is optimally effective:

Generate Keys

Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and select the Generate button. The pass key can be any
alphanumeric string. The wireless controller, other proprietary routers, and Brocade clients use the
algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. Clients without Brocade
adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers.

Keys 1-4

Use the Key #1-4 fields to specify key numbers. For WEP 64 (40-bit key), the keys are 10
hexadecimal characters in length. Select one of these keys for default activation by selecting its
radio button. Select Show to display the actual characters comprising the key.

Restore Default WEP Keys

Select this radio button to restore the WEP algorithm back to its default settings.
