Wistron Corporation MS2140BG Manual De Usuario

Security in the WLAN can be supplemented by enabling data encryption using WEP 
(Wireless Encryption Protocol). You can choose a 64 or 128 bit level encryption. Also, 
the data can then be encrypted with a key. Another parameter called the key index is 
provides the option to create multiple keys for that profile. However, only one key can be 
used at a time. You can also choose to password protect the profile to ensure privacy.

The pass phrase is used to generate a WEP key automatically. You have the option of 
either using a pass phrase or entering a WEP key manually. Using 64-bit encryption, the 
pass phrase is 5 characters long and you can choose to enter any arbitrary and easy to 
remember phrase like Acme1 or enter 10 Hexadecimal numbers for the WEP key 
corresponding to the network the user wants to connect to. For 128-bit encryption, the 
pass phrase is 13 characters long or you can enter a 26 hexadecimal numbers for the 
WEP key to get connected to the appropriate network.

Note: You must use the same encryption type, key index number, and WEP key as other 
devices on your wireless network. Also, if 802.1x authentication is being used, WEP 
encryption must be disabled. 

The following example describes how to edit an existing profile and apply WEP 
encryption.

To enable WEP encryption:

1.  From the General page, click the Networks tab.
2.  Select the profile from the Profile List and click the Edit button.
3.  Click the Security tab.
4.  Select any Network Authentication mode (Open is recommended).
5.  Select WEP for Data Encryption.
6.  Select 64-bit or 128-bit for the Encryption Level.
7.  Select a key index number 1, 2, 3, or 4. 
8.  Select either of the following:
