3. Basic Configuration

Security Policy: You can select different security policy to provide association
authentication and/or data encryption.

WEP

Setup Wizard>>Wireless Settings >>Select Security Policy>>WEP

WEP allows you to use data encryption to secure your data from being eavesdropped by
malicious people. It allows 3 types of key: 64 (WEP64), 128 (WEP128), and 152 (WEP152)
bits. You can configure up to 4 keys using either ASCII or Hexadecimal format.

Key Settings: The length of a WEP64 key must be equal to 5 bytes, a WEP128 key is 13
bytes, and a WEP152 key is 16 bytes.

Key Index: You have to specify which of the four keys will be active.

Once you enable the WEP function, please make sure that both the WHA-5500CPE and
the wireless client stations use the same key.

Some wireless client cards only allow Hexadecimal digits for WEP
keys. Please note that when configuring WEP keys, a WEP128 ASCII
key looks like “This is a key”(13 characters), while a WEP128 Hex
key looks like “546869732069732061206b6579”(26 HEX)
(hexadecimal notation are 0-9 and A-F).
