The principle of management is identical for both 64 bits and 128 bits.
The key length has to be set at the same value on the Access Point and on the client station
(Wireless LAN adapter in our case).
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 “64bit” or ”128bit” length of
the key.
2-
Select in “key format” : “Passphrase”.
3-
Select index key
4- Enter the string in “Network key” and
“Confirm network key”. The key is
generated from your string.
5-
Finally click the “Apply button” in the
Configuration 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 “64bit” or “128bit” length of the key
to generate
2. Select “ASCII” or “Hexadecimal”
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.

Configuration tab to save the configuration and
make setting take effect.
