2. Enter a Re-keying Interval.

The Re-keying Interval determines how often a client’s encryption
key is changed and can be set to any value between 60 - 65535
seconds. Rekeying frustrates hacking attempts without taxing
system resources. Setting a fairly frequent rekey value (900
seconds=15 minutes) effectively protects against intrusion without
disrupting network activities.

3. Place a check mark in the box labeled Enable Encryption (WEP).

4. Configure Encryption Key 1 only (i.e., do not configure Keys 2

through 4). Keep in mind the following:

— For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal

characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters (see

ASCII

Character Chart

).

— For 128-bit encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal

characters or 13 ASCII characters.

— For 152-bit encryption, an encryption key is 32 hexadecimal

characters or 16 ASCII characters.
