To configure WEP on the Altitude 35xx:
1 Select Network Configuration > Wireless > Security from the Altitude 35xx menu tree.
If security policies supporting WEP exist, they appear within the Security Configuration screen. These
existing policies can be used as is, or their properties edited by clicking the Edit button. To configure
a new security policy supporting WEP, continue to step 2.
2 Click the Create button to configure a new policy supporting WEP.
The New Security Policy screen displays with no authentication or encryption options selected.
3 Select either the WEP 64 (40 bit key) or WEP 128 (104 bit key) radio button.
The WEP 64 Settings or WEP 128 Settings field displays within the New Security Policy screen.
4 Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration or function of the
policy.
5 Configure the WEP 64 Settings or WEP 128 Settings field as required to define the Pass Key used to
generate the WEP keys. These keys must be the same between the access point and its MU to
encrypt packets between the two devices.
Pass Key Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the
Generate button. The pass key can be any alphanumeric
string. The Altitude 35xx, other proprietary routers and
Motorola MUs use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string
to the same hexadecimal number. MUs without Motorola
adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as
hexadecimal numbers.
