8.3.2 WEP Shared Key Security
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) provides a basic level of security, preventing
unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data transmitted between
wireless clients and the BreezeMAX Si 2000. WEP uses static shared keys
(fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed
to all clients that want to use the network.
When enabled, you must configure at least one WEP key for the Wi-Fi interface
and all its clients
.
