DESCRIPTION
Choose Static WEP or Shared WEP from the drop-down list box.
• Select Static WEP to have the ZyXEL Device allow association with
wireless clients that use Open System mode. Data transfer is encrypted
as long as the wireless client has the correct WEP key for encryption.
The ZyXEL Device authenticates wireless clients using Shared Key
mode that have the correct WEP key.
• Select Shared WEP to have the ZyXEL Device authenticate only those
wireless clients that use Shared Key mode and have the correct WEP
key.
Enter a WEP key that will be used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device
and the wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data
transmission.
If you want to manually set the WEP key, enter any 5 or 13 characters
(ASCII string) or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 64-
bit or 128-bit WEP key respectively.
