Running the WEPGen utility
167
3 Enter the WEP Key value for the wireless
client. Here you have some choices:
• You can enter the key as a text string,
taking care to enter the correct number
of characters for the key length required.
The utility will not accept keys which do
not match the selected key size.
• By clicking the
In Hex box you can enter
the key as a hexadecimal number
• By clicking the
Auto Generate box and
selecting the key
Strength from the drop-
down menu (40, 56, 64, 96 or 128 bits)
the utility will create a random number
of its own choosing and enter it into the
WEP Key field.
In this case you should make a note of
the hex value so that you can enter the
same key into the wireless client later.
4 When you have entered the information,
make sure that the
Bridge Entry box is clear
and click
Add.
The key should appear in the display window.
Nokia Smart card solution
If you are using the Nokia Smart card solution
you should follow the same procedure above,
except that:
• The
NID Name and the WEP Key must be
entered as supplied with the Smart card
• The
MAC Address field should be left clear.
