Encryption For more secure data transmission, set the "Encryption" to "128-bit" or "64-bit" to ensure wireless network security. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this adapter to prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. The 128-bit setting gives a higher level of security, but the setting must be the same as other clients in your wireless network. (Default: Disabled) The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in SMC's EZ Connect Wireless USB adapter is based on an RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data confidentiality are four 10 digit keys for the 64-bit WEP setting (first screen below) and one 26-digit key for the 128-bit WEP setting (second screen below). This WEP security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or unexpected intruders. English 15 16 Create with Passphrase Security keys for WEP encryption are generated from your Passphrase string, so you must use the same passphrase on all the other stations in your network. Manual Entry "Manual Entry" allows the user to manually enter key elements. ( 2 Hexadecimal digits in each block) Default Key ID Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string you prefer. If you are using a key generated from Passphrase, you must use the same Passphrase and key on each station. English English To use the WEP function, take the following steps: 1.
