WEP Mgmt Tab

The WEP Mgmt tab enables you to set WEP parameters for each port.

Note: The settings on this tab window are interrelated. This means that selecting one may disable access to others.

Field

Description

Provide encryption
key dynamically

This option is selected by default. If this option is selected, the other WEP settings on this page
are disabled. To enter a custom WEP, de-select this option. The other fields become active.

Use key for data
encryption

Select this option to manually enter a WEP key to encrypt your data to the access point. You
enter that key in the Key field below.

Use key to
authenticate with AP

Select this option if your network does not support 802.1x authentication and you need to
connect to the access point without username and password authentication. The key entered
below is used to authenticate instead.

Key

In this field, enter the WEP key:

ASCII - 5 or 13 characters

Hexadecimal - 10 or 26 characters.

When the key entered is in the correct format, the
screen changes to display the type - ASCII or
Hexadecimal.

Key Index/Transmit
Key

The Key Index drop-down list contains the available keys. You may enter up to four keys for
reception; the Client will try all four to find one that works with the access point.

From the drop-down list, select the key to be used for transmission as well. If the key selected is
the transmit key, the Transmit key box is checked.

To change the transmit key, select another key and check the Transmit key box. The check box
of the original transmit key will be automatically de-selected.
