A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key. If

the wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase, you can also use that here. Otherwise,

you will have to manually enter the hexadecimal numbers.

WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________

The WEP Hexadecimal Numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used in the wireless

network access point, but rather if the key is manually entered.

Use the procedures below to configure basic security settings in the WPN111.
