● WEP

Additional security can be achieved by using Encryption (WEP security). WEP encrypts each

frame transmitted from the radio, using one of the keys entered from this panel.

There are four encryption keys value available for the WEP. You can define the encryption key

values of their own choice.

Encryption (WEP security)

Click the arrow button, and choose Disabled, 64-bit, or 128-bit Encryption.

Create Keys Manually

Once you set the Encryption type as 64-bit or 128-bit, you may choose to edit WEP keys

manually or create them via the passphrase of your wireless network. If you choose the Create

Keys Manually option, you may directly enter up to 4 WEP keys for use in WEP encryption. To

generate the WEP keys, please define the key entry method as Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal

(for hexadecimal characters, only digits 0-9 and letters A-F are valid). Then edit the texts in the

blank fields below, from Key 1 to Key 4, as the encryption codes. Note that these codes/keys

shall be identical between the wireless nodes within the range and the access point only.
