12.16 Wireless Introduction
A wireless LAN can be as simple as two wireless devices communicating in a peer-to-peer
network or as complex as a number of wireless devices communicating through access points
which bridge network traffic to the wired LAN.
Note: See the WLAN appendix for more detailed information on WLANs.
12.16.1 WEP Encryption
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access
points to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast
communications in a network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the
same WEP key.
Your Prestige allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key
can be enabled at any one time.
In order to configure and enable WEP encryption; click Wireless LAN and Wireless to the
