WEP Encryption
The IEEE 802.11 standards specify an optional encryption feature, known as Wired Equivalent Privacy or WEP, that is
designed to provide a wireless LAN with a security level equal to what is found on a wired Ethernet network. WEP
encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on an 802.11 network using an Encryption Key (also known as a
WEP Key).
When Encryption is enabled, two 802.11 devices must have the same Encryption Keys and both devices must be
configured to use Encryption in order to communicate. If one device is configured to use Encryption but a second
device is not, then the two devices will not communicate, even if both devices have the same Encryption Keys.
• The AP-600b supports 64-bit and 128-bit encryption:
– For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters
(see ASCII Character Chart).
– For 128-bit encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal characters or 13 ASCII characters.
• The AP-600a supports 64-bit, 128-bit, and 152-bit encryption:
– For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters
(see ASCII Character Chart).
– For 128-bit encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal characters or 13 ASCII characters.
– For 152-bit encryption, an encryption key is 32 hexadecimal characters or 16 ASCII characters.

64-bit encryption is sometimes referred to as 40-bit encryption; 128-bit encryption is sometimes referred to as
104-bit encryption.
