WEP 64 B ITS / WEP 128 B ITS
Like WPA, the WEP 64 Bits / 128 Bits mode requires a keyword for securing wireless
communications. The chief difference is that in WPA mode, this key changes dynamically
during a connection, whereas it remains static in WEP mode.
Note:
We recommend using the WPA encryption standard because WEP-based data encryption
has to be regarded as insufficient by today’s standards.
Authentication Mode:
Automatic:
In Automatic mode, the authentication mode is selected automatically.
Open System:
Open System authentication is the default authentication setting.
Shared Key:
Shared Key authentication employs an enhanced handshake mechanism during login,
which does, however, not provide any additional security.
Key Encoding:
You may select ASCII or HEX key encoding. ASCII is a 7-bit encoding scheme, HEX is a 16-
bit scheme.
