Netgear MA111v1 MA111v1 User Manual - Page 9

For 128-bit encryption: Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f " and "0-9" (e.g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC). 4. When you are done, click the Apply button and click OK for the changes to take effect. Important Note: The WEP keys must be set up exactly the same on all wireless devices in order to communicate with each other. This table describes the options available from the Security section: Security Description Enable WEP Encryption Create with Passphrase Enables the data encryption for the wireless node. If you disable the data encryption (by unchecking the box) then no encryption method will be used; this is also called Open System data encryption. To enable encryption is to use the Shared Key data encryption method. A Passphrase is use to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key. If your wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase, you can use that here. Once you type in the Passphrase, the generated key will be shown before you click OK or Apply button. Manual Entry Key Length The WEP hexadecimal numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used in the wireless Access Point but rather if the key is manually entered. The key length must be the same between all wireless nodes and Access Points in the same network. The possible values for the data encryption level are 64-bit and 128-bit. The 64-bit data encryption is also called 40-bit data encryption by some vendors. Key1 Key2 Key3 Key4 The MA111 device uses a selected WEP key to encrypt and decrypt information. When set to 64-bit (also called 40-bit), or 128-bit data encryption mode, you may specify up to four different keys to encrypt wireless data. Select one of the keys as a default key. Profile Section The Profile area allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined profile. To create a profile, in the Profile Name field, type a Profile Name; for example: Home, Office. When you are done, click the Save button in the Profile area, and click Apply. If one of the profiles is no longer used, display the name in the Profile Name field, then choose Delete. You can add and modify multiple profiles at any time. Stations Section The Stations section displays all of the Access Points and the Ad Hoc Stations that are available. 15 16
