WEP

If you chose WEP, the Wireless Configuration-WEP dialog box appears.

Do the following:

1. Choose a WEP key length.

   The possible key lengths are:

   • 64 Bits - The key length is 10 hexadecimal characters.
   • 128 Bits - The key length is 26 hexadecimal characters.
   • 152 Bits - The key length is 32 hexadecimal characters.

   Some wireless card vendors call these lengths 40/104/128, respectively.

   Note that WEP is generally considered to be insecure, regardless of the selected key length.

2. In the text box, type the WEP key, or click Random to randomly generate a key matching the selected length.

   The key is composed of characters 0-9 and A-F, and is not case-sensitive. The wireless stations must be configured with this same key.

3. Click Next.

   The Wireless Security Confirmation dialog box appears.

4. Click Next.

   The Wireless Security Complete dialog box appears.

5. Click Finish.

   The wizard closes.

6. Prepare the wireless stations.
