WEP Keys If you selected WEP encryption, you must configure at least one WEP key.
The wireless stations must be configured with the same key, as well.
Key 1, 2, 3, 4 radio
button
Click the radio button next to the WEP key that this gateway should use for
transmission.
The selected key must be entered in the same key slot (1-4) on the station
devices, but the key need not be selected as the transmit key on the
stations.
Note: You can use all four keys to receive data.
Key 1, 2, 3, 4
length
Select the WEP key length from the drop-down list.
The possible key lengths are:
• 64 Bits. The key length is 10 characters.
• 128 Bits. The key length is 26 characters.
• 152 Bits. The key length is 32 characters.
Note: Some wireless card vendors call these lengths 40/104/128,
respectively.
Note: WEP is generally considered to be insecure, regardless of the
selected key length.
