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 WLA-5000AP v3 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).
