Configuring Security
Providing a Wireless Client with a WEP Key
If you have a second client
station, that station also
needs to have one of the
WEP keys defined on the
AP.
You could give it the same
WEP key you gave to the
first station. Or for a more
secure solution, you could
give the second station
a different WEP key (key
2, for example) so that
the two stations cannot
d e c r y p t e a c h o t h e r 's
transmissions.
Static WEP with Transfer Key
Indexes on Client Stations
Some wireless client
software (like Funk
Odyssey) lets you
configure multiple WEP
keys and set a transfer
index on the client
station, then you can
specify different keys to
be used for station-to-
AP transmissions.
(The standard Windows wireless client software does not allow you to do this.)
To build on our example, using Funk Odyssey client software you could give each of
the clients WEP key 3 so that they can decode the AP transmissions with that key and
also give client 1 WEP key 1 and set this as its transfer key. You could then give client
2 WEP key 2 and set this as its transfer key index.
The figure on the next page illustrates the dynamics of the AP and two client stations
using multiple WEP keys and a transfer key index.
