Q & A

QUESTION ANSWER

WEP KEY INFORMATION

• On the Connection Point Settings Screen, the WEP key will be displayed as a string
of asterisks (*).

• Normally, up to four WEP keys can be registered for an access point. In the

Nintendo DS system’s connection point settings, the WEP key should be input in the

first of the four slots, and the access point settings should also be configured for the
use of the same WEP key.

• The WEP key can be input using either ASCII characters or hexadecimal code
consisting of the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters “a” to “f.”

• The number of characters to be used for the WEP key is as follows:

ASCII: either 5, or 13, or 16 characters
Hexadecimal: either 10, or 26, or 32 characters

• The only encryption system supported by the Nintendo DS system uses the WEP
key. If the access point uses some other encryption system, the encryption system
used on the access point will need to be changed.

• For information on configuring the access point settings, refer to the instruction
booklet provided with your access point.
