4. From

the

Default Key list, select one of the four keys to encrypt the data you are going

to transmit.

5. In

the

Mode list, select Mandatory or Optional as required.

Mandatory: If selected, you need to set the WEP keys to have your station use WEP

encryption to communicate with other stations. As a result, any other station within the

wireless network will need to use WEP encryption to establish connection with your

station.

Optional: If selected, your station can communicate with other stations within the

wireless network regardless if they use WEP or not.

6. Select

Open System, Shared Key or Auto as the Authentication Type.

Your authentication type must be the same as those on the Access Point/wireless client

(Ad-Hoc mode) with which you want to associate.

7. To have the new settings take effect, click the Submit. Then click Exit to exit the utility.

Note: To use data encryption, all the wireless stations and/or Access Points must use the same

encryption key values. For example, if you use Key #1 on your Wireless LAN Card and a

value is assigned, then the same value must be assigned to Key 1 for all other client stations.
