Table 20 Network > Wireless LAN > Security: Static WEP
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.
PassPhrase Enter a passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate.
A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further converted by
the PLA4231 into a complicated string that is referred to as the “key”. This key is requested
from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.
WEP Encryption Select 64-bits or 128-bits.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
Authentication
Method
Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to login to the
wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you want to force a key verification before
communication between the wireless client and the PLA4231 occurs.
Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication.
ASCII Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
