Chapter 4 Wireless LAN Wireless > Security > WEP The following table describes the wireless security for WEP labels in this screen Wireless > Security > WEP LABEL DESCRIPTION Wireless Security Setup Select SSID Select the desired Service Set Identity (SSID). Encryption Choose the encryption security type, WEP. The other encryption security options are: WPA, WPA2, WPA-Mixed, and Disable. The default is Disable. Authentication Key Length Select Open System, Shared Key, or Auto authentication. Auto is the default. This specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to login to the wireless client. Most users keep this setting at Auto or Open System unless they want to force a key verification before communication between the wireless client and the FSG1100HN occurs. Selecting Shared Key forces clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication. Select the level of encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. Key Format Select ASCII (5 characters) or Hex (10 characters). American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a system using alphanumeric characters. ASCII strings are automatically converted to hexadecimal format for use over a network. Hex uses the actual hexadecimal format based on the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. Encryption Key 1 to 4 Keys are used to encrypt data. Both the FSG1100HN and the wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission. If you chose 64-bit, then enter any five ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). If you chose 128-bit, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). At least one key must be configured and up to four keys overall can be configured. However, only one key can be activated at any single time. The default key is Encryption Key 1. Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the FSG1100HN.
