About passphrase:
•
This radio supports secured
access points using the
Wireless Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) keys or Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA and WPA2)
standards.
• WEP keys are either 10 or
26 characters long (e.g.
6E78214A52). Note that
some Wi-Fi routers support
passphrase generation for
WEP security. However, there
is no industry standard for
WEP passphrase generation
and this radio does not
support WEP passphrases.
• If you are using a WEP
secured access point, enter
the WEP key (HEX format)
instead of the passphrase.
