The DS.11 Configuration Utility

3-19

If you select the Shared Key algorithm, set the following parameters:
WEP: Enable access to the Default Key ID parameter and WEP keys table.

The default is Disable.

Default Key ID – Sets the key to be used for encryption/decryption. The

default WEP key is the first key.

WEP keys – Defines the encryption keys used. Define each key by clicking the

appropriate WEP Key row and entering 10 (for 64 bits keys) or 26 (for 128 bits
keys) hexadecimal characters for each of the four keys. After clicking Apply, the
WEP Key values are displayed as zeros for security reasons.

NOTE:

All units in the same cell should use the same key.

Scrambler: The scrambling mechanism is another security measure that can

be enabled or disabled independently of the WEP mechanism. It may also be
used for simple to implement security without the administrative effort
associated with distributing and managing keys. It is a differentiating element,
disabling association of stations that do not have this feature. The default is
Disable.
