5.2.2  Authentication Settings

You can add a network automatically when a network is detected, or you can enter 
setting information manually. Contact your network administrator for the 
appropriate authentication information.

1. To manually enter new settings, tap on Start, Settings. Tap on the Connec-

tions tab.

2. Tap on the Network Cards icon. In the Wireless tab, tap on Add new....

3. To use data encryption, tap Network Key, Data encryption (WEP 

enabled). WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others 
from accidentally accessing your network.

4. To use Shared Key authentication, tap on Network Authentication 

(Shared mode). You’ll need a network key if you choose this option.

802.11b supports two subtypes of network authentication services: Open 
and Shared. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request 
authentication. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless 
station sends an authentication management frame that contains the identity 
of the sending station. The receiving station then sends back a frame that 
indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station. 

Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have 
received a secret shared key over a secure channel that is independent 
from the 802.11b wireless network communications channel.

5. To use an automatically assigned network key, enable the checkbox next to 

The Key is provided for me automatically, or 

To assign a Network key manually, disable the checkbox next to The key is 
provided for me automatically, and enter the information manually.
This text box is used to specify a 5 or 13 ASCII character sequence or an 
equivalent 10 or 26 Hexadecimal digit sequence that matches the active 
WEP key on the access point.
