Parameter Description 16 Hawking Technologies Hi-Gain Wireless-G Range Extender Configuration You can select "Disable ", " WEP 64bits", "WEP 128bits", "WPA (TKIP)" or "WPA2 (AES)" encryption methods. This is only used when you select " WEP 64bits" or "WEP 128bits" encryption method. You may select to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0 -9" range) to be the WEP Key. For example: ASCII Characters: guest Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde This is only used when you select " WEP 64bits" or "WEP 128bits" encryption method. The WEP key is used to encrypt data transmitted between the bridged Range Extenders. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a -f" and "0 -9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys . 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a -f" and "0-9" range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. Encryption Key Format WEP Key Pre-shared Key Format You may select to select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a -f" and "0-9 " range) to be the Preshared Key.
