WEP Data Privacy Fields
Off – No data
encryption
Default setting; data is NOT encrypted before transmitted.
Choose the data privacy encryption from one of the three
Off – No data encryption,
64 Bit Encryption, or
128 Bit Encryption.
64 Bit Encryption
• If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being transmitted. The receiving station
must be set to 64 Bit Encryption, and have the same Key value in the same position in its key table.
Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.
• Default Key - select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted data is ALWAYS encrypted
using the Default Key; the other Keys are for decryption only.
Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, and Key 4
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All stations, including this Access Point, always
transmit data encrypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is also transmitted. The
receiving station will use the key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key value to use for decryption. If
the key value does not match the transmitting station, decryption will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to have every Station, including the Access Point, use
the same key table (all entries identical). It does not matter which default key is used.
Enter two hexadecimal numbers in each cell. A hexadecimal number is one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a,
b, c, d, e, and f, which represent the number from 0 to 15 respectively.
Default Key Choose from 1 to 4. For usage please see ‘64 Bit Encryption’ above.
128 Bit
Encryption
If selected, data is encrypted using the key before being transmitted. The receiving station must be set to
use 128 Bit Encryption, and have the same Key value. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.
Enter two hexadecimal numbers in each cell. A hexadecimal number is one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a,
b, c, d, e, and f, which represent the number from 0 to 15 respectively.
WEP
Authentication
Options are "Open System" or "Shared Key".
Some Wireless cards and Access Points do not support both methods. Check your documentation to
determine the correct value to use.
