unauthorized wireless users. Both the NWA1300-NJ and the wireless
clients must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64bit in the Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII
characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key.
If you chose 128bit in the Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII
characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for each key.

any one time. Select a default key to use for data encryption.
