be identical on all wireless clients and access points in your network. Select either:
- Automatic. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and
click the Generate Keys button. The four fields are automatically populated with key
values.
- Manual. Enter the number of hexadecimal digits appropriate for the encryption
strength: 10 characters for 64-bit, 26 digits for 128-bit, or 32 characters for 152-bit
WEP encryption (any combination of 0–9, a–f, or A–F).
Select which of the four keys will be the default.
6. Select the key to be used as the default key by selecting the radio button. (Data
transmissions are always encrypted using the default key.)

situations.

Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address
The access control list lets you block the network access privilege of any specified stations
through the acess point. When you enable access control, the access point accepts
connections only from clients on the selected access control list. This provides an additional
layer of security.
Note: If configuring the access point from a wireless computer whose
MAC address is not in the access control list, if you select Turn
Access Control On, you will lose your wireless connection when you
click Apply. To make further changes, you have to connect to the
access point from computer that is on the access control list.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Log in to the WNAP210 using the default address of http://192.168.0.236, user name of
admin, and default password of password, or whatever LAN address and password
you have set up.
