LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Choose Static WEP or Shared WEP from the drop-down list box.
• Select Static WEP to have the Device allow association with wireless clients that use
Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted as long as the wireless client has the
correct WEP key for encryption. The Device authenticates wireless clients using Shared
Key mode that have the correct WEP key.
• Select Shared WEP to have the Device authenticate only those wireless clients that use
Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP key.
WEP Key Enter a WEP key that will be used to encrypt data. Both the Device and the wireless stations
must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5 or 13 characters (ASCII string) or 10
or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively.
