Description
Key Length There are two types of WEP key length: 64‐bit
and 128‐bit. Using ‘128‐bit’ is safer
than ’64‐bit’, but will reduce some data
transfer performance.
Key Format There are two types of key format: ASCII and
Hex. When you select a key format, the
number of characters of key will be displayed.
For example, if you select ’64‐bit’ as key
length, and ‘Hex’ as key format, you’ll see the
message at the right of ‘Key Format’ is ‘Hex
(10 characters), which means the length of
WEP key is 10 characters.
Default Tx Key You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and
you can decide which key is being used by
default here. If you don’t know which one
you should use, select ‘Key 1’.
Encryption Key Input WEP key characters here, the number of
characters must be the same as the number
displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use
any alphanumerical characters (0‐9, a‐z, and
A‐Z) if you select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you
select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can use
characters 0‐9, a‐f, and A‐F.
