Step 12 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 16. If no WEP key has been set up, proceed to Step 13.
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 13 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 14 Select 128-bit encryption from the Key Size pull-down menu.
Step 15 If the key in slot 1 is the only WEP key set up, select it as the transmit key.
Step 16 Click OK. You return automatically to the Security Setup page.
