WEP Authentication: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over
the network, the router offers secure data encryption, known as WEP. If you require high security for
transmissions, there are three options to select from: Open System, Share key or Both.
Default Used WEP Key: Select the encryption key ID; please refer to Key (1~4) below.
Passphrase: This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input string and a
pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in both the AP and Client
card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that you do not have to enter Key (1-4) as
below when the Passphrase is enabled.
Key (1-4): Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP
Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for
your selection. The input format is in HEX or ASCII style, 5 and 13 ASCII codes are required for
WEP64 and WEP128 respectively and no spaces allowed.
WPA Shared Key: The key for network authentication. The input format is in character style and the
key size should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters (here the default is the router or CPE’s
MAC address in uppercase).
Group Key Renewal: The period of renewal time for changing the security key between wireless
client and Access Point (AP). This process is done automatically.
