Encryption Screen
The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in the Wireless 3301G-P1 PC Card is 
based on an RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data 
confidentiality are four 10-bit keys for the 64-bit Wep setting and one 26-bit key for the 
128-bit Wep setting. This WEP security protects your wireless LAN against 
eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or unexpected intruders. If the WEP 
is in use, the WEP key is required for connecting to an Access Station or listening to 
messages that pass through the air.
To use the WEP function, take the following steps:
1.
Click on the “Encryption” tab to set up the WEP security keys.
2.
Select “128 bit” or “64 bit” for the “WEP” field.
3.
Enter your passphrase to create the security keys.
4.
Then click on the “Apply” button to save the WEP keys.
5.
For 64-bit encryption select one encrypted key (from Key 1 to Key 4) as your default 
key.
WEP - For more secure data transmission, select the “128 Bit” or “64 Bit” setting to use 
WEP security. The 128-bit setting gives a higher level of security, but the setting must be 
the same as that of other devices in your network. The advanced Wired Equivalent 
Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this card to prevent unauthorized access. However, for 
normal use we recommend disabling WEP to improve performance. (Default: Disabled)
