Figure 1.1

Once you have established a wireless connection to the router, you can
configure WEP encryption if you are transmitting sensitive data via the
wireless network.

The standard 64bit/128bit/256bit encryption requires you to use the
same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Wireless Barricade Turbo
and all of your wireless clients.

You must have a 10-digit key for 64bit WEP, a 26-digit key for 128bit
WEP and a 58-digit key for 256bit WEP.

To manually configure the keys, enter 5 hexadecimal pairs for your
chosen 64-bit key, enter 13 pairs for the 128bit key or enter 29 pairs for the
256bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-
F) Also note that the fields are filled in by default. You need to delete these
characters/asterisks before entering your WEP key (For example: To
configure WEP using Key 1, first delete the character entries you see for
Key 1, then enter your desired hex pairs. Do not delete any asterisks from
the other Keys)
