Web Configuration 4-7

Using WEP Security Encryption

Authentication Type

Select Open System or Shared Key authentication, as used by the Access Point. You can select

Auto to have the wireless game adapter automatically determine the type.

Key Size

Select the WEP Encryption level to match the Access Point:

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

• 128-bit (sometimes called 104-bit) encryption

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 in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button

to automatically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64 bit, then each of the

four key boxes will automatically be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to 128

bit, then only the selected WEP key box will automatically be populated with key values.

Manual Entry Mode

Select which of the four keys will be used and enter the matching WEP key information for your

network in the selected key box.

• For 64 bit WEP — enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).

• For 128 bit WEP — enter twenty-six hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).

Be sure to click Apply to save your settings.

Using WPA-PSK Security Encryption

Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. The Passphrase must be 8 to

64 characters in length. The 256 Bit key used for encryption is generated from this passphrase.
