Parameter Description
Key Type and Key Type of key and the key itself, as follows:
•If Key Type = HEX, the Key must be a hexadecimal number. A hex digit
occupies four bits, so for WEP-64, a hex Key must be 10 digits (40 bits total).
For WEP-128, a hex Key must be 26 digits (104 bits total).
•If Key Type = PASSPHRASE, the key must be the appropriate string that can
be converted to the correct key using standard WEP algorithms. For WEP-64,
a passphrase Key must be 5 characters/digits. For WEP-128, a passphrase
Key must be 13 characters/digits.
WEP Authentication Type of initial authentication used by the wireless access point:
• OPEN - Effectively no authentication to associate and connect; however, all
communications following the connection will be WEP-encrypted and
therefore the unit must still have the correct key specified.
• SHARED - Requires matching keys to establish the initial connection, which
involves a more detailed handshake transaction between the devices.
Afterwards, all communications are WEP-encrypted similar to open
authentication.
NOTE: This setting does not affect how you specify the Key Type and
Key. It controls how the unit attempts initial negotiations only. Both
open and shared WEP require a valid key.
WEP Key Slot WEP key slot.
