WEP Encryption 

Select Disable allows all wireless computers to communicate with the access points 
without any data encryption.  

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to allow data encryption. 

ASCII 

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

Hex 

Select this option to enter hexadecimal characters as the WEP keys. 

The preceding 0x is entered automatically.  

Key 1 to Key 4 

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyAIR and the wireless stations 
must use the same WEP key for data transmission. 

If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal 
characters ("0-9", "A-F"). 
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal 
characters ("0-9", "A-F").  

You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time. 
The default key is key 1.

The third wizard screen allows you to configure IP address assignment. 

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique IP address. If your networks are isolated from the 
Internet, for instance, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts 
without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following 
three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private networks.
