If WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal are selected for the WiFi Security
Authentication type field, a WPA/WPA2 Personal section replaces the Open WEP
section in the user interface.
Field Description
Open WEP
Note: WEP is not a recommended Wi-Fi Security protocol because of its well publicized vulnerabilities. Use WPA/WPA2
Personal instead. Only alphanumeric characters can be used for the WEP passphrase. WEP is only available if the
Enable Wireless Access Point field is set to b/g Enabled. (See Enable Wireless Access Point on page 87.)
WEP Encryption If Enabled is selected, the following three fields in this table display. Options are: Enabled
or Disabled
Key length Options are:
• 64 bit key (generated from password)—Default
• 128 bit key (generated from password)
• 64 or 128 bit key (customer specifies 5 or 10 hex characters)
WEP Passphrase May be 10–255 alphanumeric ASCII characters long. This field is not used if the 64 or 128
bit key (customer) option is selected in the Key length field.
WEP Key Displays the WEP key in hex characters
The WEP Key is generated from the WEP Passphrase when the Key length is 64-bit key or
128-bit key. This is the Key required by AP clients to connect to the device.
To generate the WEP Key:
1. Set the Key length.
2. Enter the WEP Passphrase.
3. Click Apply.
4. Reboot the device.

type on page 87) only AES is available.
