Encryption WEP Key:
Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b
standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to
interpret by unauthorized parties.
To enable WEP Encryption, first decide which WEP key format will be
applied. Click on ASCII or HEX check box to select input format as ASCII
format or HEX format, and then input the WEP key. To Confirm the WEP key
you must enter the data once again in the Confirm WEP Key field.
ASCII input format:
ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit
value. All unaccented upper- and lower-case Western European characters that
can be input through your keyboard's typing zone are valid. To setup 64-bit
WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters, for example, '12345'. To setup 128-bit
WEP key, input 13 ASCII characters, for example, '1234567890123'. These
character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the DCS-
1000W will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
HEX input format:
Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an
eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Only the digits 0 through 9
and the letters A through F (in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup 64-bit
WEP key, input 10 HEX format, for example, '3132333435', this is the same
with ASCII input '12345'. To setup 128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format,
for example, '31323334353637383930313233', this is the same with ASCII
input '1234567890123'. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and
104, respectively; the DCS-1000W will automatically pad your input to a bit
count of 64 or 128.
On the Confirm WEP Key field, input the same characters as the Encryption
Code field.
Make sure the Encryption Code is the same with the access point's encryption
code that DCS-1000W is to be connected under Infrastructure mode. Your
PC/Notebook's encryption code also needs to be setup the same with the
