Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring the Client Adapter
Configuring Your Client Adapter
Setting the Security Parameters
Along with the SSID, the Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) settings must match those used by the
access point. You must also know whether your wireless network is using LEAP.
Note See Chapter 4 for a complete description and comprehensive listing of the security features and
parameters.
There are a number of security combinations available, depending on the client card that you are using:
• WEP is required to use LEAP.
• WEP can be used with or without LEAP.
• LEAP can be used only with WEP.
Note To use LEAP, your client adapter firmware must be later than version 4.13, and the access point firmware
must be release 11.00 or later.
To use WEP with LEAP, your client adapter must be capable of the same WEP key as the access point
to which it associates.
• A 340 or 350 series adapter cannot use WEP.
• A 341 or 351 adapter can use only 40-bit WEP, so the access point must be configured accordingly.
• A 342 or 352 adapter can use either 40- or 128-bit WEP.
Entering the WEP Key and Enabling WEP
Follow these steps to enter the WEP key and enable WEP.
Step 1 Select Enter WEP key from the Commands drop-down menu. The Enter CEM Password screen appears.
