Chapter 4 Security Setup
Setting Up EAP Authentication
Step 11 Check that a WEP key has been entered in key slot 1. If a WEP key has been set
up in slot 1, skip to Step 15. If no WEP key has been set up, proceed to Step 12.
Note You can use EAP without enabling WEP, but packets sent between the
access point and the client device will not be encrypted. To maintain
secure communications, use WEP at all times.
Step 12 Enter a WEP key in slot 1 of the Encryption Key fields. The access point uses this
key for multicast data signals (signals sent from the access point to several client
devices at once). This key does not need to be set on client devices.
Step 13 Select 128-bit encryption from the Key Size pull-down menu.
Step 14 If the key in slot 1 is the only WEP key set up, select it as the transmit key.
Step 15 Click OK. You return automatically to the Security Setup page.
