• Alphanumeric: Enter keys as 5 alphanumeric characters for 64 bit keys, 13
alphanumeric characters for 128 bit keys, or 16 alphanumeric characters for 152
bit keys.
Key Number – Selects the key number to use for encryption for each VAP interface.
If the clients have all four keys configured to the same values, you can change the
encryption key to any of the eight 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)
Note: Key index and type must match that configured on the clients.
Note: 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.
To enable WEP shared keys for a VAP interface, click Security under Radio G. 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)
• Open System: If you don’t set up any other security mechanism on the access
point, the network has no protection and is open to all users. This is the default
setting.
• Shared Key: Sets the access point to use WEP shared keys. If this option is
selected, you must configure at least one key on the access point and all clients.
