• 64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and can interoperate on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialization Vector assigned by the wireless LAN adapter. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method. • After assigning the WEP keys, click APPLY to save and activate the encryption. Manually assigned encryptions are more secure than automatically generated encryptions. • Use Manual Assignment instead of Automatic Generation if you are not sure whether other wireless clients use the same algorithm as that of wireless LAN adapter. • Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys. 3.2.3 Site Survey The Site Survey window displays the available networks within the wireless LAN adapter range and the following network settings.
