If Key Length is 40 bits and Key Type is “Hex,” then each WEP key
must be 10 characters long.

If Key Length is 104 bits and Key Type is “ASCII,” then each WEP
Key must be 13 characters long.

If Key Length is 104 bits and Key Type is “Hex,” then each WEP Key
must be 26 characters long.

Although the CLI will allow you to enter WEP keys of any number of
characters, you must use the correct number of characters for each
key to ensure a valid security configuration.

AT-WA7400# set interface wlan0 wep-key-1 abcde

AT-WA7400# set interface wlan0 wep-key-2 fghi

AT-WA7400# set interface wlan0 wep-key-3 klmno

AT-WA7400# set interface wlan0 wep-key-4

Set the Authentication Algorithm

The options for the authentication algorithm are Open System, Shared
Key or Both and are shown in Table 13.

In the following example, the authentication algorithm is set to Shared Key:

AT-WA7400# set bss wlan0bssInternal shared-key-authentication on

AT-WA7400# set bss wlan0bssInternal open-system-authentication
off

Get Current Security Settings After Re-Configuring to Static WEP Security
Mode

Now use the get command again to view the updated security
configuration and see the results of the new settings. The following
