Create Encryption Keys Manually
You can also create encryption keys manually by choosing the
Char
or
Hex
.
For 40-bit encryption:
■
5 characters
in the range of “A-Z”, “a-z” and “0-9” (e.g. MyKey, shown as above
figure).
■
10 digit hexadecimal
values in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” (e.g.
11AA22BB33).
For 128-bit encryption:
n
13 characters
in the range of “A-Z”, “a-z” and “0-9” (e.g. MyKey12345678)
n
26 digit hexadecimal
values in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” (e.g.
12345678901234567890123456)
Select one key from the 4 WEP keys and the
Apply
button to make the setting take effect.
Moreover, you may choose the
Authentication Type
, either
Open System
or
Shared Key
for
authentication among wireless devices. The
Open System
and
Shared Key
are the
identification methods defined in the IEEE802.11 standard. The difference is that the
Shared
Key
requires the use of the WEP privacy mechanism for authentication. Simply put, if the
Shared Key
is selected, you need to set the WEP Keys.
