15.9.2.1 Enabling WEP Security
If you selected WEP from the Wireless Security drop-down menu, the following screen will be displayed. Enter the
appropriate values, and then click Save to save the settings.
NOTE: The WEP key must be 64 bit (5 text characters or 10 hexadecimal digits in length) or 128 bit (13 text
characters or 26 hexadecimal characters in length).
Wireless Security (WEP)
Wireless Security WEP has been selected as the wireless security method used.
Authentication Type Factory Default = Open System
Possible Responses:
Open System: Open System authentication allows any station to associate with the
wireless network but only stations with the valid WEP key can send or receive data
from the Gateway. Open System authentication is considered to be more secure than
Shared Key authentication.
Shared Key: Shared Key authentication requires the station to authenticate with the
Gateway using the WEP key before it can associate with the wireless network.
Key Select Factory Default = Key 1
Select Key 1 to Key 4 as the WEP key to be used. Note: The key position must be the
same in both the Gateway and the wireless station.
Key n
(where n is 1 - 4 for WEP and is
blank for WPA-PSK)
The WEP key is treated as either text or hexadecimal (hex) characters. The number of
characters is based on the key size selected. The key size 64-bit is either 5 text or 10
hex characters, 128-bit is either 13 text or 26 hex characters. Hexadecimal characters
are 0-9 and A-F (or a-f). This key must be the same in both the Gateway and the
wireless station.
