These sections describe the security settings that you configure, depending on 
your selection in the Security list on the Networks page.

If you select None as your security mode, no additional security settings are 
configurable on the WAP device. This mode means that any data transferred to 
and from the WAP device is not encrypted. This security mode can be useful 
during initial network configuration or for problem solving, but it is not 
recommended for regular use on the internal network because it is not secure.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a data encryption protocol for 802.11 wireless 
networks. All wireless stations and access points on the network are configured 
with a static 64-bit (40-bit secret key + 24-bit initialization vector (IV)) or 128-bit 
(104-bit secret key + 24-bit IV) Shared Key for data encryption.

Static WEP is not the most secure mode available, but it offers more protection 
than setting the security mode to None (Plain-text), as it does prevent an outsider 
from easily sniffing out unencrypted wireless traffic. 

WEP encrypts data moving across the wireless network based on a static key. 
(The encryption algorithm is a stream cipher called RC4.)

These parameters configure Static WEP:

•

Transfer Key Index—A key index list. Key indexes 1 through 4 are available. 
The default is1.

The Transfer Key Index indicates which WEP key the WAP device uses to 
encrypt the data it transmits.

•

Key Length—The length of the key. Select one:

-

64 bits

-

128 bits

•

Key Type—The key type. Select one:
