To configure WEP data encryption, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the FWAG114 firewall at its default LAN address of
http://192.168.0.1 with its
default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN
address and password you have set up.
2. Click the Wireless 11a or 11b link in the main menu of the FWAG114 firewall.
3. Click the Configure WEP butto.
4. Choose the Authentication Type and WEP option.
5. You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must
be identical on all PCs and Access Points in your network.
• Automatic - Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click
the Generate button. The four key boxes will be automatically populated with key values.
• Manual - Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F)
Select which of the four keys will be active.
Please refer to
“Overview of WEP Parameters” on page D-5 for a full explanation of each of
these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11b wireless communication standard.
6. Click Apply to save your settings.
Note: When configuring the firewall from a wireless PC, if you configure WEP settings,
you will lose your wireless connection when you click on Apply. You must then either
configure your wireless adapter to match the firewall WEP settings or access the
firewall from a wired PC to make any further changes.
