Configuring Static WEP Security
The CN30 uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol to provide
your wireless networks the same level of protection as a comparable wired
network. WEP adds security to wireless local area networks (WLANs)
based on the 802.11b standard.
To use WEP security, you need:
•
A CN30 Mobile computer with an 802.11b/g radio.
• An access point with an 802.11b/g radio.
To enable WEP security on the CN30 with Funk security
1 Make sure you have selected Funk as your security choice.
2 Make sure you have configured the communications and
radio parame-
ters on your CN30.
3 Press C and then B to open the System Main Menu.

You can define up to four WEP keys. Enter an ASCII key or a hex key
that is either 5 bytes or 13 bytes long depending on the capability of the
radio. Set a 5- byte value for 64-bit WEP or a 13-byte value for 128-bit
WEP. Hex keys must be preceded by 0x and contain 5 or 13 hex pairs.
9 Press Esc to return to the Profile.

and press Enter.
