Passphrase:
This is used to generate WEP keys automatically by input string and
pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input same string in both AP
and Client card to generate same WEP keys. Please note you do not have to key in
Key (0-3)
as
below when
Passphrase
is enabled.
WEP Encryption:
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted
over the network, the wireless broadband firewall gateway offers highly secure data encryption,
known as WEP. If you require high security in transmission, there are two alternatives to select
from, WEP 40 and WEP 128.
Key (0-3):
Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the
WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the device. There are
four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required
for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively, the separator is “-“. Take WEP64 case for example, 11-
22-33-44-55 is a valid key, 1122334455 is invalid instead.
Hide_SSID:
When enabled, the Wireless AP is invisible from the site-surveying by Wireless
clients. The wireless clients still can associate with this Wireless AP if entered with the same
ESSID value.

Apply
to enable this function. If
you check “Use Router as a DNS Server”, the Router will find the IP address automatically from
the outside network and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN.
