to explore the Advanced Parameters options as displayed in the Network Properties Edit
Configuration window:

• Encryption Parameters Tab
• Advanced Parameters Tab

Input of WEP is possible from the Client Manager windows after completing ESS-ID input. Please refer
to the Basic Settings for Enterprise Networks in section 2.5 for the details.

Encryption needs to be the same for all AirStation stations.
