WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an
encryption method specified by the IEEE
802.11g standard to make any intercepted
communications extremely difficult to interpret
by unauthorized parties. The default setting for
this option is Disable.
• WEP Key Format: To enable WEP Encryption,
you should decide the encryption format first by
selecting the ASCII or HEX option, and then
input the WEP key (in the following Key 1~4
box).
ASCII input format:
ASCII format causes each character you type
to be interpreted as an eight-bit value. All
unaccented upper- and lower-case Western
European characters that can be input
through your keyboard's typing zone are
valid. To setup a 64-bit WEP key, input 5
ASCII characters. For example, ‘12345’. To
setup an 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII
characters. For example, ‘1234567890123’.
These character counts result in bit counts of
40 and 104 respectively; the camera will
automatically pad your input to a bit count of
64 or 128.
HEX input format:
Hex format causes each pair of characters you
type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value in
hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Only the
digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F
(in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup a
64-bit WEP key, input 10 HEX format. For
example, ‘3132333435’, which is the same
with ASCII input ‘12345’. To setup an 128-bit
