3. In the Wireless Security Type section, select the WEP radio box. The WEP fields section will

be highlighted.

4. Choose the Authentication Type (Automatic, Open System or Shared Key) and Encryption

Strength options. You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys.

These values must be identical on all PCs and Access Points in your network.

– Authentication Type: Normally this can be left at the default value of “Automatic.” If set

to “Open System” or “Shared Key”, wireless stations must use the same method.

– Encryption: Select the desired WEP Encryption:

• 64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption

• 128-bit encryption

– WEP Keys: If using WEP, you can manually or automatically program the four data

encryption keys. These values must be identical on all PCs and Access Points in your

network.

• Automatic Key Generation (Passphrase): Enter a word or group of printable

characters (this phrase is case sensitive) in the Passphrase box and click the “Generate

Keys” button to automatically configure the WEP Key(s).

– If encryption is set to 64 bit, then each of the four key boxes will automatically be

populated with key values.

– If encryption is set to 128 bit, then only the selected WEP key box will automatically

be populated with a key value.
