This Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys. It is case-sensitive and should have no more than 16 alphanumeric characters. (The Passphrase function is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. If you want to communicate with non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your WEP key manually on the non-Linksys wireless products.) After you enter the Passphrase, click the Generate button to create WEP key(s). • Active Key - Select which WEP key (1-4) will be used when the Media Link sends data. Make sure the other wireless-equipped devices are using the same key. • WEP Keys 1-4 - If you are not using a Passphrase, then you can enter one or more WEP keys manually. In each key field, manually enter a set of values. (Do not leave a key field blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These are not valid key values.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Valid hexadecimal characters are "0"-"9" and "A"-"F". To save your changes, click the Apply button. Click the Cancel button to cancel your changes. Click the Help button for additional on-screen information.
