Creation of the WEP keys
It is possible to manually enter the WEP key you want to use. However, this entry being rather
tedious, especially for 128 bit keys, it is possible to have them generated automatically. To do that,
you will have to enter a string of characters called "Passphrase".
Create Encryption Keys by Using a “Passphrase”
1- Select first the “WEP (64 bits)” or ”WEP
(128 bits)” length of the key.
2-
Check “PassPhrase”.
3-
Select index key (fixed to 1 for WEP 128 bits)
4- Enter the string in PassPhrase. The key is
generated from your string.
5-
Finally click the “Apply button” in the
Configure tab to save the configuration.
Warning: when Create Key with Passphrase is enabled, the wireless device’s Key number with
PassPhrase must match the Key number with PassPhrase used by the access point with which
wireless devices are going to communicate.
Create Encryption Keys Manually
You can also create up a encryption key.
1. Select first the “WEP (64 bits)” or “WEP (128
bits)” length of the key to generate
2. Select “ASCII” or “Hex” (hexadecimal) in Key
Type
3. Select index key
4.
Enter manually the key you want in the key
field taking in account the remarks here after
specifying the authorized characters
5.
Finally click the “Apply button” in the
Configure tab to save the configuration and
make setting take effect.
For 64bit encryption you may choose:
