Enter Wep key
Selecting this option under the CEM menu will allow you to enter WEP keys
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) For the to be used by the selected card. If passwords
are enabled, you will be prompted to enter it .. After this the WEP key entry
dialog will appear. This dialog will allow you to enter up to four WEP keys and
select which will be used to encrypt packets transmitted by the radio. On the
dialog box will be four area’s where you can enter key values.
On the left will be buttons labeled key set. This indicates which keys are now
set within the card. Next will be the transmit key selection buttons before
each entry. This button determines which key will be used to encrypt each packet
before transmission. Note that only one key may be selected as the transmit
key. Following this will be the entry area for the key proper. You use this area
to enter the actual key value. The key size buttons select either 128 bit or 40
bit key value. For 128 bit keys 26 hex digits (13 bytes total ) must be
entered. For 40 bit keys 10 hex digits (10 bytes ) must be entered. Keys must consist
of the characters 0-9 A-F. If the keys are incorrect an error box will appear
indicating an error in the entry. The WEP key type can be either temporary
persistent. Temporary keys exist in volatile memory meaning they will not exist
across power losses Persistent keys on the other hand are stored in non volatile
memory within the card meaning they will persist across power outages / reboots
etc.
