Authentication 
Method

Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.

This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to login to the 
wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you want to force a key verification before 
communication between the wireless client and the WAP5705 occurs.

Key 1 to Key 4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the WAP5705 and the wireless stations must

("0-9", "A-F").

If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
