CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS NETWORK SETTINGS
Setting WEP Encryption using a Passphrase
Note to Mac users: The Passphrase option will not operate with Apple® AirPort®.
To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the encryption using the
manual method described in the next section.
1. Select "128-bit automatically" or "64-bit automatically" from the
drop-down menu.
2. Type in a passphrase. A passphrase is like a password. It can be a mixture
of numbers and letters. After you type in your passphrase, click "Generate".
When you click "Generate", the key fields below will become populated.
Note: 64-bit encryption will generate four keys and 128-bit encryption will generate
only one key. Select the key you want to use by clicking the radio button next to
it. Click "Apply Changes".
3. Encryption in the AP is now set. Each of your computers on your wireless
network will now need to be configured with the same passphrase. Refer to
the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on
making this change.
