Configuring a Service Profile 241
The SSID type must be crypto (encrypted) for WEP to be used. If the SSID
type is clear, wireless traffic is not encrypted, regardless of the encryption
settings.
To configure WEP:
1 Do one of the following:
 If you are configuring dynamic WEP, go to step 5.
 If you are configuring static WEP, go to the next step.
2 To specify a WEP key, type the hexadecimal value of the key in one of the
WEP key boxes.
The WEP key must be a 10-character ASCII string (representing a 5-digit
hexadecimal number) or a 26-character ASCII string (representing a
13-digit hexadecimal number). ASCII characters in the following ranges
are supported: 0 to 9, A to F, a to f.
3 In the WEP Unicast Key Index box, specify the WEP key (1 to 4) to use
when encrypting unicast frames.
For example, if you specified a value in the WEP Key 1 box and want to
use that key when encrypting unicast frames, specify 1 in the WEP
Unicast Key Index box.
4 In the WEP Multicast Key Index box, specify the WEP key (1 to 4) to use
when encrypting multicast/broadcast frames.
For example, if you specified a value in the WEP Key 3 box and want to
use that key when encrypting multicast frames, specify 3 as the WEP
Multicast Key Index box.
5 To send a shared key to clients before the authentication process, select
Shared Key Auth. Enabled. (Generally, this feature does not need to be
enabled.)
6 Do one of the following:
 If you are configuring a combination of WEP and WPA, go to
“Configuring WPA or RSN”.
 To close the wizard and save the changes, click Finish.
