To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the
WL1100X-CF Wireless LAN Compact Flash Adapter offers highly secure data encryption,
known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). If you desire to use WEP encryption, please select
the 40 bit WEP or 128 bit check box and set the following values.
There are three types of WEP encryption described as follows:
None – There won’t be data encryption in wireless communication.
40 Bit – Requires wireless stations to use data encryption with 40-Bit WEP (64-bit encryption)
when communicating with the Access Point.
128 Bit – Allows wireless clients to communicate with the Access Point with 128-Bit encryption.
The tab enables you to identify up to 4 different encryption keys and select one of them to
encrypt your transmission data. The key value of your choice may either be:
For 40-bit encryption:
n 10 digit hexadecimal values in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” in 5 entry boxes (e.g.
11 AA 22 BB 33).
For 128-bit encryption:
n 26 digit hexadecimal values in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”, in 13 entry boxes
(e.g. 11 AA 22 BB 33 12 34 56 78 9A BC DE FF).
