Chapter 10: Configuring Security
Static WEP
The AP must have all keys used by clients for station-to-AP transmit so that 
it can de-code the station transmissions.
The same key must occupy the same slot on all nodes (AP and clients). For 
example if the AP defines 
abc123
 key as WEP key 3, then the client stations 
must define that same string as WEP key 3.
On some wireless client software (like Funk Odyssey), you can configure 
multiple WEP keys and define a client station “transfer key index”, and then 
set the stations to encrypt the data they transmit using different keys. This 
ensures that neighboring APs cannot decode each other’s transmissions.
10.2.4.2
Example Of Using Static WEP
For a simple example, suppose you configure three WEP keys on the access point. 
In our example, the Transfer Key Index for the AP is set to 3. This means that the 
WEP key in slot “3” is the key the access point will use to encrypt the data it sends.

You must then set all client stations to use WEP and provide each client with one of 
the slot/key combinations you defined on the AP.
