7. Click OK again to save the configuration to the Base Station and to return to
the main AP Manager window.
The Base Station will now reboot.
Optionally you can choose to configure your Base Station to allow or deny non-
encrypted data.
WEP Encryption Key Values
If you select to enable encryption you may choose to enter up to the following
encryption keys.
For the Client Manager that supports 128-bit RC4 encryption algorithm valid
values are either:
! 5-digit alphanumerical value in the range of “a-z” and “0-9”
Example: SECU1
! A 10-digit hexadecimal value, preceded by the characters “0x” (zero x).
Example: 0xABCD1234FE
For the 128-bit encryption based on the RC4 encryption algorithm are either:
! 13-digit alphanumerical value in the range of “a-z” and “0-9”
Example: SECURE1234567
! A 26 -digit hexadecimal value, preceded by the characters “0x” (zero x).
Example: 0x1234567890ABCDEF1234567890
! As an option, you can also use short (example 64-bit) values
Hexadecimal strings that are not preceded by the leading “0x” will be
interpreted as alphanumerical string.
WEP Transmit Key value
If you enable WEP encryption, you can select one key for wireless data
transmissions from the list of WEP encryption key values. You can only select a
transmit key that has a correct WEP encryption key value assigned. In case you
specified no more than 2 key values, you can only select the transmit key from
these two values.
If you cleared the “Deny non-encrypted Data” tick box, your Base Station may also
transmit in “non-encrypting mode”.
NOTE:
The WEP key values you enter will remain visible only when you enter the character
strings. As soon as you close the Security Setup window, the values will be stored in hidden
characters: i.e. a next time the Security Setup window will be displayed, you will not be able
to read the WEP key values anymore. You are advised to write down the values you enter,
prior to closing the window.
