A hexadecimal digit consists of an alphanumeric character ranging from 0-9 or A-F. An example of a 64-bit WEP key is: 4E-A3-3D-68-72. To create a set of 64-bit WEP HEX keys, activate one or more keys by clicking in the appropriate circles, then enter five hexadecimal digit pairs in each activated Key text box (Key 1-, Key 2-, Key 3-, Key 4-). After activating 64-bit WEP on the Print Server, a computer with wireless capability can use the Print Sever only if these same keys are entered in the computer's wireless encryption scheme. 128-bit WEP - 128-bit WEP requires one or more keys, comprising 13 hexadecimal pairs. A hexadecimal digit consists of alphanumeric characters ranging from 0-9 or A-F. An example of a 128-bit WEP key is: 3D-44-FE-6C-A1-EF-2E-D3-C4-21-74-5D-B1. To create a 128-bit WEP key, activate Key 1 by clicking in the appropriate circle, then enter 13 hexadecimal digit pairs in the Key text box. After activating 128-bit WEP on the Print Server, a computer with wireless capability can use the Print Sever only if this key is entered in the computer's wireless encryption scheme. 29 Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless Multiport Print Server User Manual Passphrase - Instead of entering hexadecimal keys, a Passphrase can be entered in the "Passphrase" text box. This passphrase will then be used by the Print Server to create hexadecimal keys. Other users must be able to run WEP HEX Passphrase on their computers, and know the passphrase, to connect to the Print Server. WPA - shared key Selecting this option generates the "Wireless Security (WEP)" window with the "WPA Algorithms" and "Shared Key" text boxes.
