Using the SMC2802WV.2 Utility Program
17
The WEP implemented in SMC’s Wireless PCI Card is based on
the RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys are four 10-digit
keys for the 64-bit WEP setting and one 26-digit key for the
128-bit WEP setting. WEP security protects your wireless LAN
against eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or
intruders.
Default Key
– Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string
you prefer. If you are using a key generated from a passphrase,
you must use the same passphrase and key on each station.
Passphrase
– Security keys for WEP encryption are generated
from a passphrase string, so you must use the same passphrase
on all the stations in your network.
To use the WEP function, take the following steps:
1.
Select 128-bit or 64-bit in the Encryption field.
2.
Choose Create with Passphrase, type a string in the
Passphrase field, and click Generate.
Note:
A passphrase string can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
3.
Select the WEP key, and click Apply.
Click New to configure the Operating Mode, Channel, SSID and
Transmit Rate. After making a configuration change, the Save
button will become enabled. Click Save to save the changes.
