You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your network. • Automatic. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase field and click Generate. The four key boxes are automatically populated with key values. • Manual. The number of hexadecimal digits that you must enter depends on the encryption strength setting: - For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). - For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 7. Select the radio button for the key you want to make active. Be sure that you clearly understand how the WEP key settings are configured in your wireless adapter.

Click Save to save your settings or click Apply to allow your changes to take effect immediately.
