Encryption
Encryption technology is used to enhance wireless media security. Your encryption settings
must match those used by the Access Points or wireless stations (Ad-hoc mode) in your
network, or your computer will be unable to communicate with others through the network.
If you are not going to use encryption, got to the Encryption tab and select Disabled from the
Encryption drop-down menu. Yet, if you need to enable encryption, please do the following:
1. Select the Encryption tab from the Wireless LAN Monitor Utility.
2. Select 64 Bit or 128 Bit as your encryption type.
3. For flexibility, you can enter the WEP keys in either HEX or ASCII format. Enable the
preferred format and then enter the key values in the Key #1-4 fields.
Note that when using HEX format, only digits 0-9 and letters A-F, a-f are allowed. Valid
key length for each encryption type is as below:
HEX Format ASCII Format
64 Bit 10 hexadecimal digits 5 ASCII characters
128 Bit 26 hexadecimal digits 13 ASCII characters
Note that the four keys, including the one selected as Default Key, are used to decrypt
the data you receive.
