Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a combination of numbers and letters from A–F and

0–9. 64-bit keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13

two-digit numbers.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key

C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key

In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between

A–F and 0–9 in each box. You will use this key to program the encryption

settings on your Router and your wireless computers.

Note to Mac users:

Original Apple

®

AirPort

®

products support

64-bit encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or

128-bit encryption. Please check your product to see which version you are

using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try

64-bit encryption.

WEP Setup

64-Bit WEP Encryption

1.

Select “WEP” from the “Security” menu’s “Allowed Client Type”.

2.

Select “64-bit” as the WEP mode.

After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key

by typing in the hex key manually, or you can put a check mark in

“Passphrase”, then type in your passphrase. Click “Apply Changes” to

generate four different hex keys.

A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers and letters from

A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you must enter 10 hex keys.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key

4.

Select the “Default Key ID” from the drop-down menu.

WARNING:

If you are configuring the Wireless G Router or access point

from a computer with a wireless client, you must ensure that security is

turned ON for this wireless client. If this is not done, your client will lose its

wireless connection.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the latest

wireless security standard. It also supports the legacy security standard,

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To

enable security, you must first determine which standard you want to use.

To access the security settings, click “Security” on the “Wireless” tab.

WPA Setup

Note:

To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers and

software that support it. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, a

security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft

®

. This patch

works only with the Windows XP operating system. You must download the

latest driver for your Ativa Wireless G Notebook Card from the Ativa support

site. Other operating systems are not supported at this time. Microsoft’s

patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Ativa

802.11g products.

WPA uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared key

is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a

combination of letters, numbers, and other characters. Each client uses the

same key to access the network. Typically, this mode will be used in a

home environment.

WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced

encryption technique over WPA.
