WEP Configuration Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to configure the settings for WEP encryption.
This page includes the following components:
• WEP Type – Select the WEP encryption format, 64-bit encryption or 128-bit encryption, from
the menu. You must use the same WEP encryption format for all devices on your wireless
network.
■ Note: Some wireless products offer only 64-bit WEP encryption. If any products on your network
offer only 64-bit WEP encryption, WEP Type must be 64-bit encryption.
• Key Format – Select the format for the WEP key, ASCII or Hex, from the menu. Select ASCII if
you want to use alphanumeric characters. Select Hex if you want to use hexadecimal characters.
You must use the same WEP key format for all devices on your wireless network.
■ Note: Hexadecimal is a more common WEP key format than ASCII. If your network contains
products from different vendors, select Hex to ensure WEP key compatibility.
• WEP Key – Enter your WEP key. Your WEP key is the shared encryption key that is required
before a device can access your network. The following table displays the appropriate length of
the WEP key, which is based on the WEP Type and Key Format values.
