HI Prashant,

The current key you are using is ASCii type which want exactly 13 charachers .

Now you are trying to give a hexadecimal key which require 26 characters .

Try using ASCII and let me know .

Regards

Angus

can you plz send me step by step gudie to configuration in cisco aironet 1200 using gui or cli.

hi my setup is as below

dh#config t

dh(config)#int dotradio0

dh(config-if)#no encryption key1 size 128bit 7 1752614c0554547554FE transmit-key

now i have given

encryption key 1 size 128bit 7 1234567891234567891234567891 transmit-key

then when i try to connect this Access-point

i got error on my laptop

""the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration.

this can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters"

Prashant,

Typically in the line you pasted "encryption key 1 size 128bit 7 1234567891234567891234567891 transmit-key"

the 7 after 128bit means that the key following it is encrypted so the AP thinks 123456789123456789.. is actually the encrypted value, try entering the key like this

encryption key 1 size 128bit 0 1234567891234567891234567891 transmit-key

And see if that resolves your problem.
