¡C 64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the s ame encryption method and
can interoperate on w ireless networks. This lower level of WEP
encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the
user) secret key and a 24- bit Initialization Vector assigned by the
devic e. 1 04-bit and 12 8-bi t WEP k eys use th e same e ncryptio n
method.
¡C Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys
¡C All wireless clients in a network must have identical WEP keys
with the access poi nt to establish connection.
Securing your wireless communication using WEP encryption
To secure yo ur wire less communi cation using th e WEP encryption:
1. Assign the WEP encryption keys by manual or automatic generation.
Manual Assig nment. For a 64-bit encryption, enter 10 hexadecimal
digits (0~9, a~f, A~F) or 5 ASCII characters in each of the four WEP
keys. For 128-bit encryption enter 26 hexadeci mal d igits (0~ 9, a~f,
A~F) or 1 3 ASCII cha racters in each of the four WE P ke ys.
Automatic Generation. Type a combination of up to 64 letters,
numbers, or symbols in the Passphrase field. The Web Configuration
utility uses an a lgorithm to gener ate four WEP keys based on the
typed combination.
2. Specify the default WEP encryption key in the Default Key fiel d.
3. Click the Apply button when finished.
Securing your w ireless communication using TK IP (WPA)
encryption
The SAA04-05224A implements the Wi -Fi Protected Access (WPA)-PSK
authentica tion method to secure c ommunicatio n to and fro m wireless
devices. This method uses the Temporal K ey Integrity Protocol (T KIP)
encryp tio n.
To secure your wireless
communication using the TKIP :
1. Select WPA-PSK as the
Authe nti ca tio n Met hod .
2. Type 8 ~ 63 alpha-numeric
characters in the Passphrase
field.
3. Configuration
