4.4.1.3 WEP

WEP Encryption: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data
transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption,
known as WEP. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two
alternatives to select from: WEP 64 and WEP 128. WEP 128 will offer increased
security over WEP 64.

Default Used WEP Key: Select the encryption key ID; please refer to Key (1~4)
below.

Passphrase: This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input
string and a pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same
string in both the AP and Client card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please
note that you do not have to enter Key (1-4) as below when the Passphrase is
enabled..

Key (1-4): Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data

transmission, the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the

same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX

style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively no any

separator is included.

4.4.1.4 DHCP Server

In this menu, you can disable or enable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. The DHCP protocol allows your BiGuard 50G to dynamically assign IP
addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to automatically obtain IP
addresses.
