Key (#1 – #4): The encryption keys. You enter keys using hexadecimal digits. For 40/64bit encryption, you
need ten digits; 26 digits for 128bit, and 58 digits for 256bit WEP. Hexadecimal characters are 0 – 9, and
a – f. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption and the more difficult it is to break the encryption.
Examples:
40bit: 02468ACE02
128bit: 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789
256bit: 592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F592CA140F0A238B0C61AE162F21A09C

Wireless MAC Authentication allows you to specify which client PCs are allowed to join the wireless LAN by
