Open-System: When chosen, the Key is not used for authentication. It is only used 
for encryption. Open-System uses Static Keys for encryption. Static (Shared) Keys 
are never changed, and a hacker can crack the key after a period of time. 
Shared-Key: When chosen, the encryption Key is also used for authentication 
between the AP and Client. Note that this system is also using Static Keys. 
Key Entry Method: Choose HEX if you want to enter the Keys in hexadecimal 
format. Otherwise, enter in ASCII format. ASCII is also called Alphanumeric in some 
systems. Use the same key format for the AP and Client! 
Key 1-4: The Key is to be entered in the boxes. The SAME Key must be entered in 
both the AP and Client. Take note that there is a different Key length for a different 
number of encryption bits. 152 bits is the most secure, but make sure that your 
Client card supports it. The last point to take note is that if you use Key 4 on the AP, 
you must also use Key 4 on the Client, for example. The same logic applies for Keys 
1-3.
