3. Basic Configuration

3.3.1.1 Security Settings

Security: Click on this button, a pop-up window appears. On the scroll menu, select

different security policy to provide association authentication and/or data encryption as you

need.

WEP

WEP allows you to use data encryption to secure your data from being eavesdropped by

malicious people. It allows 3 types of key: 64 (

WEP64), 128 (WEP128), and 152 (WEP152)

bits. You can configure up to 4 keys using either

ASCII or Hexadecimal format.

Key Settings: The length of a WEP64 key must be equal to 5 bytes, a WEP128 key is 13

bytes, and a

WEP152 key is 16 bytes.

Key Index: You have to specify which of the four keys will be active.
Once you enable the WEP function, please make sure that both the WLA-9000AP and the

wireless client stations use the same key.

Some wireless client cards only allow Hexadecimal digits for WEP

keys. Please note that when configuring WEP keys, a WEP128 ASCII

key looks like “

This is a key”(13 characters), while a WEP128 Hex

key looks like “

546869732069732061206b6579”(26 HEX)

(hexadecimal notation are 0-9 and A-F).
