Chapter 4 - Operation
The available options are WEP, AES OCB and FIPS 197.
The default is WEP.
NOTE
The BU and the RB it serves should be configured to the same Security Mode option.
4.2.6.7.4 Default Key (RB only)
The Default Key defines the Key to be used for encrypting/decrypting the
authentication messages (Shared Key mode) and/or data frames (Data Encryption
enabled). The BU learns the Default Key from the RB.
Available values range from 1 to 4.
The default is KEY # 1.
4.2.6.7.5 Default Multicast Key (BU only)
The Multicast Default Key defines the Key to be used for encrypting multicasts
and broadcasts when Data Encryption is enabled.
Available values range from 1 to 4.
The default is KEY # 1.
4.2.6.7.6 Key # 1 to Key # 4
The Key # options enables defining the encryption key to be used for initializing
the pseudo-random number generator that forms part of the
encryption/decryption process. The Keys must be set before the Shared Key
authentication algorithm or Data Encryption can be used. To support proper
operation, both the Key # and the content must be identical at both sides of a
wireless link.
Each Key is a string of 32 hexadecimal numbers. For security reasons, it is a
"write only" parameter, displayed as a string of asterisks ("*").
The default for all 4 Keys is 000...0 (a string of 32 zeros), which means no key.
4.2.6.7.7 Promiscuous Authentication (BU only)
The Promiscuous Authentication mode enables a new RB to become associated
with a BU where Shared Key operation and/or Data Encryption are used, even if
this RB does not have the correct security parameters. In promiscuous mode, all
downlink transmissions (from BU to RB) are not encrypted, allowing remote
configuration of security parameters, regardless of the current settings in the RB
of the parameters related to data encryption. After the RB is associated it should
