WEP
WEP implemented in the SMCWPCI-G is based on the RC4
encryption algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data
confidentiality are four 10-bit keys for the 64-bit WEP setting and
one 26-bit key for the 128-bit WEP setting. WEP security protects
your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized
access by intruders.
Security Type — WEP is supported by the adapter to prevent
unauthorized access.
Key Type — Choose the Key Type (ASCII or Hex) from the
drop-down list. ASCII: 13 regular text characters. Hex: 26 digits
(0~9, A~F) hexadecimal characters.
Authentication Mode — Choose Open or Shared.
Default Key — Choose the Key Number that has the encryption
string you prefer. If you are using a key generated from a
passphrase, you must use the same passphrase and key on each
station.
Use Passphrase — Check this box to auto-generate security
keys for WEP encryption. Please note that you must use the
same passphrase on all the stations in your network.
