To use static keys, enable the Use Static Keys option on the Security tab and click Define Static Encryption Keys to set the encryption keys. Then configure the fields below:

Key Entry Method: Select the method to enter the key. If Hexadecimal is selected, only digits 0-9 and letters a-f, A-F are allowed. If ASCII Text is selected, you can enter alphanumeric
characters.

Key Length (bits): Defines the length for each encryption key. Key length varies according to the WEP type. As the Key Length is changed, the number of available characters in the field is
changed automatically. If an already entered key is too long, the key is automatically truncated to fit. If the key length is increased again, the field does not automatically update to its previous
value.

Unique Key: To enable security using AES, you must define an unique encryption key. Otherwise you may leave it blank.

Shared Keys (First to Fourth): Defines a set of shared encryption keys for network configuration security. At least one Shared Key field must be populated to enable security using a shared
key.

Note: All encryption key fields are displayed only when initially entered. On subsequent entry into the security property page, the field are masked.

Select Default Encryption:  Selects the default encryption keys to be used (either Unique or Shared). You are only allowed to select a Unique key, or a shared First, Second, Third, or Fourth
key whose corresponding field has been completed.
