5. Configure the following keyguard settings:

   Generate Keys	Specify a 4- to 32-character pass key and click Generate. TThe pass key can be any alphanumeric string. The access point, other proprietary routers, and WiNG clients use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. Clients without these WiNG adapters need to use keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers.
   Keys 1-4	Use the Key #1-4 fields to specify key numbers. For keyguard (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length. Select one of these keys for default activation by clicking its radio button. Selecting Show displays a key in exposed plain text.
   Restore Default WEP Keys	Select this button to restore the keyguard algorithm to its default settings. This might be necessary, for example, if the latest defined algorithm has been compromised and no longer provides its former measure of data security.

   Default WEP keyguard keys are as follows:

   • Key 1 101112131415161718191A1B1C
   • Key 2 202122232425262728292A2B2C
   • Key 3 303132333435363738393A3B3C
   • Key 4 404142434445464748494A4B4C
6. Select OK when completed to update the WLAN's keyguard encryption configuration.

   Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
