Changing the Setup of Your WLAN

Enabling WEP Encryption—New WLAN with Adaptec Wireless

Devices Only

To enable WEP encryption:

1 Open the Utility and log in. (See page 22.)

2 Click Wireless (802.11) under Basic Setup on the menu list.

3 Click the Security tab.

4 Select WEP Enabled.

5 In the WEP Key Length drop-down box, choose 64 bit key or

128 bit key. (128-bit encryption is stronger than 64-bit, but 64-bit

encryption has less impact on transmission speed.)

WEP keys can be numeric, alphabetic, or a combination of both.

You can choose between Hexadecimal (Hex), which restricts

you to numbers 0–9 and letters A–F, and Alphanumeric (ASCII),

which restricts you to numbers 0–9 and letters a–z/A–Z.

6 Select Hex Key or ASCII Key.

Because you are setting up a new WLAN using Adaptec Ultra

Wireless devices only, you can create a passphrase that

automatically generates the WEP Keys and sets a WEP Key to Use.

Note: You can also enter the WEP Key information

manually, if desired. See page 44 for instructions.
