5.2.1 Basic (Static WEP/Shared WEP Encryption)

WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access
points (AP) to keep network communications private. Both the wireless stations and the access
points must use the same WEP key.
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.
