devices have the same WEP Keys.
When set to Use WEP for Encryption Only, the Access Point only uses WEP to encrypt
data. Two 802.11b devices must have the same WEP Keys to exchange data. For
authentication purposes the Access Point uses Open System Authentication, which is an
authentication procedure that does not use WEP to prevent unauthorized devices from
associating with an 802.11b network.

WEP Key Size
The Harmony 802.11b Access Point supports both 40 and 128 bit encryption using the
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. 128 bit encryption is available only in the
United States.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm. 128 bit encryption is available only in the
United States.
Each Access Point can store four 40-bit and four 128-bit WEP Keys.
WEP Keys
An 802.11b device with WEP enabled uses a WEP Key (also known as an Encryption
Key) to encrypt and decrypt information. If the WEP Keys do not match on two radios,
no communication will take place between these devices.
