The following table describes the encryption status and the fields that
become active with that encryption status:

Encryption
Status

Description

WEP 64-bit or

WEP 128-bit

Select the same encryption that is used by your
access point.

Passphrase Some access points/wireless

clients can use a passphrase
instead of WEP keys. The
passphrase automatically
generates the WEP keys.

The passphrase should be 8 to
63 characters long.

If you use a passphrase, you
need to make sure that the WEP
keys generated by that
passphrase match the keys on
the access point.

If your wireless router/wireless
access point is a Motorola
product, the same passphrase
will generate the same WEP
keys.

Transmit
Key

There are four available WEP
keys. By setting the transmit key,
you can specify which key
(1 to 4) to use to encrypt the
wireless packets. This is also
known as the key index on some
access points.

Key 1
through
Key 4

The key used for packet
encryption. If WEP 64-bit
encryption is selected, then this
field requires ten characters. If
WEP 128-bit encryption is
selected, then 26 characters are
required. The key must be in
hexadecimal format.

You may have to manually enter
the key if the passphrase
generates WEP keys that do not
match the wireless
router/wireless access point.
