3. Basic Configuration
3.3.1.1 Security Settings
Security: Click on this button, a pop-up window appears. On the scroll menu, select
different security policy to provide association authentication and/or data encryption as you
need.
WEP
WEP allows you to use data encryption to secure your data from being eavesdropped by
malicious people. It allows 3 types of key: 64 (
WEP64), 128 (WEP128), and 152 (WEP152)
bits. You can configure up to 4 keys using either
ASCII or Hexadecimal format.
Key Settings: The length of a WEP64 key must be equal to 5 bytes, a WEP128 key is 13
bytes, and a
WEP152 key is 16 bytes.
Key Index: You have to specify which of the four keys will be active.
Once you enable the WEP function, please make sure that both the WLA-9000AP and the
wireless client stations use the same key.
Some wireless client cards only allow Hexadecimal digits for WEP
keys. Please note that when configuring WEP keys, a WEP128 ASCII
key looks like “
This is a key”(13 characters), while a WEP128 Hex
key looks like “
546869732069732061206b6579”(26 HEX)
(hexadecimal notation are 0-9 and A-F).
