Configuring the Privacy Setting
The Encryption option of the Privacy Setting allows you to enter a five-digit
encryption/decryption key to enable wireless clients to transmit and receive data
in a secure communications mode. All users must use the same encryption key to
ensure that they can communicate with the Access Point properly. The default
five-digit encryption key is “12345.”
For no encryption, the default Privacy Setting is Plain, which allows any wireless
client computer to communicate with the Access Point without encryption.
To change the Privacy Setting from Plain to Encryption:
1. In the Access Point Configuration dialog box, click the Wireless tab.
2. Click Advanced.
3. In the Advanced setting and configuration dialog box, click the Privacy tab.
4. Click Encryption.
5. In the Privacy Key box, enter a five-digit letter or number combination with
no spaces.
6. Click OK.
