Section 4 - Managing the Access Point

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption protocol for 802.11 wireless networks. All wireless stations and

APs on the network are congured with a static 64-bit (40-bit secret key + 24-bit initialization vector (IV)) or 128-bit

(104-bit secret key + 24-bit IV) Shared Key for data encryption.

Static WEP is not the most secure mode available, but it offers more protection than setting the security mode to None

(Plain-text) as it does prevent an outsider from easily snifng out unencrypted wireless trafc.

WEP encrypts data moving across the wireless network based on a static key. (The encryption algorithm is a stream

cipher called RC4.)

Field Description

Transfer Key Index Select a key index from the drop-down menu. Key indexes 1 through 4 are available. The

default is 1.

The Transfer Key Index indicates which WEP key the AP will use to encrypt the data it

transmits.

Key Length Specify the length of the key by clicking one of the radio buttons:

•) 64 bits

•) 128 bits

Key Type Select the key type by clicking one of the radio buttons:

•) ASCII

•) Hex

WEP Keys You can specify up to four WEP keys. In each text box, enter a string of characters for each

key. The keys you enter depend on the key type selected:

•) ASCII — Includes upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and

special symbols such as @ and #.

•) Hex — Includes digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

Use the same number of characters for each key as specied in the Characters Required

eld. These are the RC4 WEP keys shared with the stations using the AP.

Each client station must be congured to use one of these same WEP keys in the same slot

as specied here on the AP.

Characters Required: The number of characters you enter into the WEP Key elds is

determined by the Key length and Key type you select. For example, if you use 128-bit

ASCII keys, you must enter 26 characters in the WEP key. The number of characters

required updates automatically based on how you set Key Length and Key Type.
