WEP Key Generator

All WEP security options include a WEP key generator feature. The feature operates by using a passphrase

to generate WEP keys through a standard MD5 key generator. The feature allows for keys to be quickly

produced if the passphrase is known. Most mobile clients have the ability to generate keys, and through

this feature VAPs will also have the ability to produce these keys. To use the WEP key generator, follow

these steps:

1. From the appropriate VAP Security Settings menu (any menu that requires a WEP key), enter the

passphrase in the appropriate field.

Figure 25. WEP Key Generator Passphrase Menu

The passphrase is a phrase 1 to 32 characters in length. When the Generate Keys button is selected, the

key generator will generate random values for each element (letter or number) in the passphrase, thus

creating secure WEP keys.

2. Once the passphrase has been entered, select Generate Keys. Four keys are generated from the single

passphrase.

3. The first key generated is automatically set to transmit. To change the transmitted key, select Transmit

Key next to the key you wish to transmit. Selecting Reset will clear the generated keys and set the

VAP security mode to none.
