For a description of all Aironet client settings, see the Cisco documentation. Enterprise-
level encryption settings are described below.
3. To activate Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for encrypted transfer, from the CEM menu
select Enter WEP key. Enter the CEM password (default = “Cisco”). The Enter WEP
key(s) dialog box appears.
4. Click to select the WEP key check box, Transmit Key check box and speed (40- or 128-
bit) for the key that you are creating (1, 2, 3 or 4). Note that the speed must match server-
side settings.
5. Enter the WEP key, keeping the following rules in mind:
• The WEP key must match the WEP key used by the access point with which you are
planning to communicate.
• For 40-bit encryption, the WEP key must be 10 characters in length, for 128-bit
encryption, 26 characters.
• General purpose WEP keys can only consist of the hexadecimal characters 0-9, A-F,
and a-f, whereas home networking WEP keys can be comprised of ASCII text.
• You can write over existing keys, but you cannot edit or delete them.
6. Click Apply and OK. Note that entering a WEP key does not enable WEP. Also, for
security reasons, the codes for existing WEP keys will not be displayed.
