[Distribute WEP key]

check box

Specify whether to dynamically distribute the WEP key.

This check box is enabled when the 802.1X function is used.

By default, this check box is unchecked.

[Reauthenticate before

WEP key distribution]

check box

Specify whether to make authentication when distributing the

WEP key.

[WEP key change interval

(seconds)]

edit box

Specify in seconds the interval with which the WEP key is

changed and distributed to each station

The default value is 600 seconds.

[Key Length]

radio button

Specify the length of the WEP key to be distributed.

The default value is 5 bytes.

[Enable WEP]

check box

WEP is short for Wired Equivalent Privacy. This function

encrypts communication data for improved security.

When this check box is selected, you must select one of

cryptographic keys 1 to 4 explained next and specify the

cryptographic key in the edit box.

A station that does not use WEP or whose key is inconsistent

cannot be connected to the access point.

The check box is selected by default.

[Keys 1 to 4]

edit box

Select one of the keys 1 to 4 and specify the WEP cryptographic

key.

Use an ASCII character string or hexadecimal number. Key

length must be 5 or 13 bytes. (The max key length depends on

the card.) The longer key becomes more secure.

All keys are set to “WEP00” by default. Please change it.

[RADIUS Server 1 to 4]

The access point sends inquiries in order to valid RADIUS servers

until the authentication succeeds or fails.
