NETGEAR HA501 Reference Manual page 20

Supports optional power management to conserve battery life in Infrastructure mode. The
three possible settings are off, normal, and maximum. The HA501 "wakes up" every 10-
Power Saving
beacon interval to listen to the normal mode, but "wakes up" every 100-beacon interval in
the maximum power saving mode.
Sets the data encryption level for the wireless node. The data encryption level must be the
same between all wireless nodes and access points within the same network. The possible
values for the data encryption level are Disable, 64 bits, 128 bits, and 152 bits. (The 64-bit
data encryption is also called 40-bit data encryption by some vendors.) For more
Information on data encryption, please refer to the Wireless Network Fundamentals
Security:
chapter at the beginning of this reference guide.
Enable Security
Unchecking the Enable Security (WEP Key) box or setting the data encryption level to
Disable is to not use any encryption; this is also called Open System data encryption.
Setting the data encryption level to 64-bit configures the wireless node to use the 40-bit
(also called 64-bit) Shared Key data encryption method. Use of 128-bit and 152-bit Shared
Key data encryption methods are also possible.
Shared Key The HA501 device with WEP enabled uses a WEP key to encrypt and decrypt information.
Entries An HA501 Wireless adapter can support up to four WEP keys.
