Figure 5 Security Panel
Encryption sub-panel
This sub-panel allows user to adjust the security level as needed. There are
three radio buttons to select the encryption levels, and only one radio button can
be selected at a time. The function of each radio button is described below:
a. Disable: if checked, the WEP is turned off and WEP Keys Creation sub-
panel becomes inactive.
b. 64-bits: if checked, the WEP is turned on using 64-bit encryption and
WEP Keys Creation sub-panel becomes active.
c. 128-bits: if checked, the WEP is turned on using 128-bit encryption and
WEP Keys Creation sub-panel becomes active.
Before applying the WEP 64 or 128-bit encryption to the radios, the user must
complete the key settings in WEP Keys Creation sub-panel first.
WEP Keys Creation Sub-panel
This sub-panel allows user to generate users’ own WEP encryption keys and can
be made active only when either 64 bits or 128 bits radio button in the Encryption
sub-panel is selected.
There are two methods to generate WEP encryption keys. One is to use auto key
generation through the Passphrase field, and the other method is to manually
input a set of keys in the Manual Entry fields.
