Factory Default = Open System.

Possible Response: Open System: Open System authentication is the default selection.

Shared Key: To use Shared Key authentication, WEP must be enabled, and a valid WEP key must be present.

Enabling WEP does not force the use of Shared Key authentication. It is permissible to have WEP enabled and

still use Open System authentication.

WEP Security WEP

Factory Default = Disabled.

Security

The AP card supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is Disabled, any station can connect

to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP SSID).

WEP (Wired Equivalent If WEP is enabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the AP is minimized.

If selected, the WEP Key is treated as a string of text characters, and the number of characters must be either 5

(for 64-bit encryption) or 13 (for 128-bit encryption) or 29 (for 256-bit encryption). If not selected, the WEP key is

treated as a string of hexadecimal characters, and the number of characters must be either 10 (for 64-bit

encryption), 26 (for 128-bit encryption), or 58 (for 256-bit encryption). The only allowable hexadecimal characters

are 0-9 and A-F.

Note

: The WEP key must be the same value and type for both
