identical to the SSID of the access point.
Refer to the access point manual, or
contact your network administrator.

will be identified automatically.

In infrastructure mode, WEP must be enabled
on the access point in order for WEP to work.
The WEP key entered on the client must be
identical to the WEP key entered in the
access point. In ad hoc mode, the WEP key
must be entered identically on each
computer.

It is strongly recommended that you enter the
network key for encoding communications
data. If the network key is not entered, since
the network can be accessed from all
personal computers containing the wireless
LAN function, there is the danger of your data
being stolen or damaged by other users.
