10.5.2 WEP Encryption
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless stations and the access points
to keep network communications private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a
network. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key.
Your WAP3205 v2 allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys but only one key
can be enabled at any one time.
Select Static WEP from the Security Mode list.

A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further converted by
the WAP3205 v2 into a complicated string that is referred to as the “key”. This key is
requested from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.
