802.1x WEP
If you select
802.1x WEP
in the
Stations Security Type
drop-down list, the following screen will appear. The
802.1x WEP feature allows you to enable WEP keys for wireless security. In addition, 802.1x WEP security uses a
Remove Authentication Dial-in Service (RADIUS) server for authentication purposes. The server must be physically
connected to the Router. The Router’s card supports 40-bit or 104-bit WEP encryption. If 802.1x WEP is used, any
station can connect to the Router as long as its SSID and WEP key values match the Router’s values.
NOTE
: Client PCs can use any Wireless 802.11b/g card to communicate with the Router. By default your Router is
configured (enabled) for 802.1X WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) security. Whenever, WEP is configured, the PC’s
wireless card must use the same WEP security code type as the one provided in Router. The WEP security code is
located on a label on the bottom of the Router. Always check that your PC’s wireless adapter is configured properly
for whichever network setting you use: WEP or WPA. You can configure the settings in the advanced properties of
the PC’s wireless network adapter.

Configuring Automatic WEP Encryption Keys
The 802.1x WEP security protocol uses port control with dynamically changing encryption keys automatically
updated over the network. To configure 802.1x WEP to generate keys automatically, do the following:
1.
Select the
Generate Keys Automatically
check box if you want the Router to automataically create the WEP
security keys. A check mark will appear in the box, and the
Encryption Key
table will be removed from the screen.
NOTE:
Disable (clear) the
Generation Keys Automatically
check box to allow 802.1x-MD5 stations to
connect to the Router
2.
Enter the desired Group Key Update Interval, and confirm that the box contains a check mark. (By factory
default, Group Key Interval is enabled for 900 seconds.)
3.
Configure the Radius Server:
a. Enter the Radius Server IP address in the fields provided.
b. Enter the desired Server Port value.
c. Enter the Shared Secret.
4.
Click
OK
to save the wireless settings in the Router.

Configuring Manual WEP Encryption Keys
To configure 802.1x WEP with manual encryption keys, do the following:
1.
Clear the
Generate Keys Automatically
check box. The Key Encryption table will appear in the screen.
NOTE:
Disable (clear) the Generation Keys Automatically check box to allow 802.1x-MD5 stations to
connect to the Router.
2.
At the Key Encryption table, select a key (1 through 4) that you want to activate.
3.
Enter the desired encryption key.
NOTE:
A WEP encryption key is treated as either a string of text (ASCII) characters or a set of
hexadecimal (Hex) characters. The number of text characters must be either 5 (for 40 bit encryption) or 13
(for 104 bit encryption). The number of Hex characters must be either 10 (for 40 bit encryption) or 26 (for
104 bit encryption). The only allowable hexadecimal characters are: A-F and 0-9.
4.
Select the Entry Method (ASCII or Hex) from the drop-down list.
5.
Select the Key Length (40 bit or 104 bit) from the drop-down list.
6.
Enter the desired Group Key Update Interval, and confirm that the box contains a check mark. (By factory
default, Group Key Interval is enabled for 900 seconds.)
7.

drop-down list, the following screen will appear. The
Non-802.1x WEP feature allows you to enable a WEP key for wireless security without using a RADIUS server.
The Router’s card supports 40-bit or 104-bit WEP encryption. Whenever Non-802.1x WEP is used, any station can
connect to the Router as long as its SSID and WEP key values match the Router’s values.
To configure the Router for Non-802.1x WEP, do the following:
1.
At the Key Encryption table, select a key (1 through 4) that you want to activate.
2.
