User's Manual

WEP allows you to use data encryption to secure your data from being eavesdropped by
malicious people. It allows 3 types of key: 64 (WEP64), 128 (WEP128), and 152 (WEP152)
bits. You can configure up to 4 keys using either ASCII or Hexadecimal format.
Key Settings: The length of a WEP64 key must be equal to 5 bytes, a WEP128 key is 13
bytes, and a WEP152 key is 16 bytes. For WEP64 and WEP128, you can just enter a pass-
phrase and click the GENERATE button to generate the four keys. So you can use a
mnemonic string as the pass-phrase instead of memorizing the four keys.
Key Index: You have to specify which of the four keys will be active.
Once you enable the WEP function, please make sure that both the 802.11A+G ACCESS
POINT and the wireless client stations use the same key.
Note: Some wireless client cards only allow Hexadecimal digits for WEP keys. Please note
that when configuring WEP keys, a WEP128 ASCII key looks like “This is a key”(13
characters), while a WEP128 Hex key looks like “54-68-69-73-20-69-73-20-61-20-6b-65-
79”(13 bytes).
