Specifing a default key to encrypt outging data
Aside from entering your WEP keys, you should select one of the
entered keys to encrypt the data before being transmitted. The AP
always transmits data encrypted using this WEP Key. The key
number (1,2,3,4) is also transmitted. The receiving station will use
the key number to determine which key to use for decryption. If the
key value does not match with the transmitting station, the
decryption will fail. To ensure successful decryption, have your
wireless stations set identical key tables.
Note: All Wireless Stations must use identical encryption algorithm
level and Key values (same key position in its key table) to ensure
successful data transmission.
