There are two types of WEP authentication namely, Open System (Static WEP) and Shared Key
(Shared WEP).
Open system is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an issue. The wireless station
and the AP or peer computer do not share a secret key. Thus the wireless stations can associate
with any AP or peer computer and listen to any transmitted data that is not encrypted.
Shared key mode involves a shared secret key to authenticate the wireless station to the AP or peer
computer. This requires you to enable the wireless LAN security and use same settings on both the
wireless station and the AP or peer computer.
In order to configure and enable WEP encryption, click Network Settings > Wireless to display
the General screen. Select Basic as the security level. Then select Static WEP or Shared WEP
from the Security Mode list.

DESCRIPTION
Security Mode
Choose Static WEP or Shared WEP from the drop-down list box.
•
Select Static WEP to have the LTE Device allow association with wireless clients
that use Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted as long as the wireless
client has the correct WEP key for encryption. The LTE Device authenticates
wireless clients using Shared Key mode that have the correct WEP key.
•
Select Shared WEP to have the LTE Device authenticate only those wireless
clients that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP key.
WEP Key
Enter a WEP key that will be used to encrypt data. Both the LTE Device and the
wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5 or 13 characters (ASCII
string) or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-bit or 128-bit
WEP key respectively.
