•WEP Mode

Select the level of WEP encryption you wish to use, 64-bit 10 hex digits or

128-bit 26 hex digits, manual or automatic. Higher encryption levels offer

higher levels of security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they

may decrease network performance.

• 64-bit/128-bit manually

If you are not using a Passphrase, then manually enter a set of values.Using

this mode, the user must manually enter keys as 10 hexadecimal digits (0 to

9 and A to F) for 64 bit keys, or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128 bit keys. If

you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must be exactly 10

hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption,

then the key must be exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length.

• 64-bit/128-bit automatically

Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase. This

Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys.

Note:

All devices in your network must use the same Passphrase or WEP

key.
