If you want to setup your machine in any other

The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks 
or 128-bit encrypted networks and can contain 
both numbers and letters. If you do not know 
this information you should see the 
documentation provided with your access point 
or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit 
value that must be entered in an ASCII or 
HEXADECIMAL format.

For example:

WPA-PSK enables a Protected Access 
Pre-shared key that allows the Brother wireless 
machine to associate with access points using 
TKIP and AES encryption. WPA-PSK uses a 
Pre-Shared Key that is 8 or more characters in 
length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
