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 — enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click

the Generate button. The four key boxes will be automatically populated with key values.

• Manual — enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F)

Select which of the four keys will be active.

Please refer to “Overview of WEP Parameters” on page D-5 for a full explanation of each of

these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11 wireless communication standard.

5. Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: If you use a wireless PC to configure the WEP settings, you will be disconnected

when you click Apply. You must then either configure your wireless adapter to match

the wireless router WEP settings or access the wireless router from a wired PC to make

any further changes.
