The BVW-3653 supports up to four WEP keys, of which
you can select one as the default. You should input the
same four keys, in the same order, in your network’s
wireless clients. Your BVW-3653 and your wireless
clients can use different default keys, as long as all four
keys are present and in the same order. If your wireless
client supports only a single WEP key, use the BVW-
3653’s default key.
Enter the keys in hexadecimal format (using the digits
0
~
9
and the letters
A
~
F
).
