Chapter 3: Software support

• 64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and

can interoperate on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP

encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the

user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialization Vector assigned by the

wireless LAN adapter. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys use the same

encryption method.

• After assigning the WEP keys, click

APPLY

to save and activate the

encryption. Manually assigned encryptions are more secure than

automatically generated encryptions.

• Use Manual Assignment instead of Automatic Generation if you are

not sure whether other wireless clients use the same algorithm as

that of the A202.

• Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.
