Wacky WEP keys on an Aironet 1246 AP

[Deepseadata]

Hey there,

Is there any way of creating WEP keys that have a little jingle to them? I've got 12 SSID's on 16 AP's. I'm going to go crazy doing all of those HEX keys.

What is the most common way of creating a wireless security plan? I've been reading about passphrases and I could have sworn I've used them before but there's nothing inside these AP's to do it that I can see.

Thanks, you could save me about 10 hours of boring HEX work.

What we do here is have them pretty much the same, but change the first or last 3 characters.
Maybe based on a logical or physical layout would help:
top floor ap(s): aayz1234567890123456789012
abyz1234567890123456789012
Next flor down: bayz1234567890123456789012, etc

Just a thought. But as long as YOU understand how the security is set, should be all good.
