About password:
Do not get your Network Password
confused with your Windows or Mac
system logon password since they can be
di erent.
Some wireless access point or routers
may call the Wireless Network Password
a passphrase or key. These terms are the
same.
About passphrase:
This radio supports secured access points
using the Wireless Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) keys or Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA and WPA2) standards.
WEP keys are either 10 or 26 characters
long (characters: 0-9 and A-F) (e.g.
6E78214A52). Note that some Wi-Fi
routers support passphrase generation
for WEP security. However, there is no
industry standard for WEP passphrase
generation and this radio does not
support WEP passphrases.
If you are using a WEP secured access
point, enter the WEP key (HEX format)
instead of the passphrase.
