Wireless Configuration

v1.0, June 2007

Settings for WEP encryption are shown on the screen:

4. Select the Authentication. Choose Open System, Shared Key, or Open System or Shared

Key. The default is Open System.

5. Enter the encryption settings:

WEP PassPhrase: To use a passphrase to generate the keys, enter a passphrase and click
Generate. This automatically creates the keys. Wireless stations must use the passphrase or
keys to access the gateway.

Key 1-Key4: You can manually enter the four data encryption keys. These values must be
identical on all computers and access points in your network. Enter ten hexadecimal digits
(any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).

Select which of the four keys will be the default. Data transmissions are always encrypted
using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data. The four
entries are disabled if WPA-PSK or WPA authentication is selected.

6. Click Apply to save your settings.

Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WEP settings, you will be

disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match
the new settings or access the gateway from a wired computer to make any further
changes.
