WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
A wireless encryption protocol that scrambles wireless signals allowing for greater security in the
wireless network. If WEP/Encryption is required at this site, you must configure each wireless phone to
correspond with the encryption protocol set up in the access points. Select the entries from the options
below to enable the wireless phone to acquire the system.
Notes
Set each of these options to match exactly the settings in your access points.
Encryption codes display as they are entered. For security reasons, codes will not display
when a user returns to the Admin menu, Encryption options.
WEP may be set to “optional” at the access point if there are wireless devices in use that
do not have WEP capability. All wireless devices must be upgraded to WEP capability for
a fully secured WEP environment.
Authentication
Select either Open System or Shared Key.
WEP On/Off
Select either WEP On or WEP Off.

Default Key: Enter the key # specified for use by the wireless phones. This will be 1

Key Length: Select either 40-bit or 128-bit depending on the key length specified for use
