encryption key to any of the four settings without having to update the client keys.
(Default: Key 1)
Shared Key Setup – Select 64 Bit, 128 Bit, or 152 Bit key length. Note that the
same size of encryption key must be supported on all wireless clients. (Default:
None)
To enable WEP shared keys for a VAP interface, click Security. Then, select the
VAP interface that will use WEP keys by clicking More, and configure the
Authentication Type Setup and Encryption fields.
Authentication Type Setup – Sets the access point to communicate as an open
system that accepts network access attempts from any client, or with clients
using pre-configured static shared keys. (Default: Open System)
NOTE
Key index and type must match that configured on the clients.
In a mixed-mode environment with clients using static WEP keys and WPA, select WEP transmit
key index 2, 3, or 4. The access point uses transmit key index 1 for the generation of dynamic
keys.
