devices in certain environment.

Security Description

Enable Encryption

Create with

Passphrase

A Passphrase is use to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal

numbers for the key. If your wireless network Access Point uses a

Passphrase, you can use that here.

Once you type in the Passphrase, the generated key will be shown

before you click OK or Apply button.

Manual Entry

The WEP hexadecimal numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used

in the wireless Access Point but rather if the key is manually entered.

Key Length

The key length must be the same between all wireless nodes and Access

Points in the same network. The possible values for the data encryption

level are 64-bit and 128-bit. The 64-bit data encryption is also called

40-bit data encryption by some vendors.

Key1

Key2

Key3

Key4

The MA521 device uses a selected WEP key to encrypt and decrypt

information. When set to 64-bit (also called 40-bit), or 128-bit data

encryption mode, you may specify up to four different keys to encrypt

wireless data.

Select one of the keys as a default key.

Enables the data encryption for the wireless node. If you disable the

data encryption (by unchecking the box) then no encryption method

will be used; this is also called Open System data encryption. To enable

encryption is to use the Shared Key data encryption method.
