SSID

Select the SSID for which you want to configure the security.

Security Mode

Select Static WEP to enable data encryption.

PassPhrase

Enter a Passphrase (up to 26 printable characters) and click Generate. 

A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is 
further converted by the NBG4615 into a complicated string that is 
referred to as the “key”. This key is requested from all devices wishing to 
connect to a wireless network.

WEP 
Encryption

Select 64-bits or 128-bits.

This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to 
use.

Authentication 
Method

Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.

This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP 
key to login to the wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you 
want to force a key verification before communication between the 
wireless client and the NBG4615 occurs. 

Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to 
communication. 

ASCII

Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
