Default Tx Key (4): You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide which key is being used by default here. Encryption Key 1 to 4 (5-8): Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must be the same as the number displayed at `Key Format' field. You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select `ASCII' key format, and if 67 Key Format (3): you select `Hex' as key format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F.
