6.4 Security Parameters Summary
Refer to this table to see what other security parameters you should configure for each
Authentication Method/ key management protocol type. You enter manual keys by first
selecting 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP from the WEP Encryption field and then typing the
keys (in ASCII or hexadecimal format) in the key text boxes. MAC address filters are not
dependent on how you configure these security features.
6.5 WEP Encrytion
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) as specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard provides methods
for both data encryption and wireless station authentication. WEP provides a mechanism for
encrypting data using encryption keys. Both the AP and the wireless stations must use the
same WEP key to encrypt and decrypt data. Your ZyWALL allows you to configure up to four
64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys, but only one key can be used at any one time.
