Pre-shared Key (Static WEP)
Wired Equivalent Privacy is a security protocol which allows the
wireless client adapter to communicate ONLY with access points
or other wireless clients that have the same WEP key.
WEP Key is categorized into two types: Hexadecimal and ASCII.
Hexadecimal values consist a to f and numbers 0 to 9 whereas
ASCII values consist of alphanumeric characters a to z; 0 to 9.
To define pre-shared encryption keys,
1. Choose
the
Pre-shared Key (Static WEP) radio button and
click the Configure… button to fill in the encryption key.
If the access point that the wireless adapter is
associating to has WEP set to Optional while
the wireless adapter has WEP enabled, ensure
that Allow Association to Mixed Cells is
checked to allow association.
Note that this option is available only in 802.1x
and Pre-Shared Key (Static WEP).
