WEPDOS
WEPDOS utility is used to program the WEP key into the Cisco radios. Once the key value and
key number to be used is set the authtype parameter in NET.CFG file must be modified. To set
the key type wepdos at the c:\pctcp prompt.
Syntax
WEPDOS [-ascii|-hex] [-key#|-home] key ;set a key
WEPDOS [-key#|-home] –clear ;clear a key
WEPDOS [-tx#] ;select transmit key index
WEPDOS [-d] ;display settings
Where
key is a 5 character ASCII string
key is a 10 character hex-digit number
WEP128 allows 5 or 13 character ASCII, and 10 or 26 hex-digit keys
-key# is default key index 1, 2, 3 or 4
-home selects the home key for use with home access points
-tx# selects the transmit key index 1, 2, 3 or 4 (enterprise networking)
Standard Options
-p[iobase] io base address (hex) [380]
-b[membase memory base address (hex) [D000]
-i[irq] interrupt request (decimal) [10]
-s[slot] slot number (decimal) [0]
-365 82365 startup of card
Default: no startup, IO:380, MEM:D000:0, IRQ:10, SLOT:0
Examples
To check WEP key on a LXE computer the correct syntax to type at c:\ prompt
wepdos -365 -p100 -bc000 -d
To set key for use type
wepdos -365 -hex -key# <10 or 26 byte key> -tx# -d
WEPDOS supports up to 4 keys. As an example of setting key number 1 to abcdefghijklm for use
in transmitting type:
wepdos -365 -p100 -bc000 -key1 -tx1 -ascii abcdefghijklm –d
