64-bit
Encryption
If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key,
before being transmitted.
The receiving station must be set to [64 Bit Encryption],
and have the same Key value in the same position in
its key table. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt
the data.
[Default Key]
Select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted
data is ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the
other Keys are for decryption only.
[Key Table]
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data.
All stations, including this Access Point, always transmit
data encrypted using their default key. The key number
(1, 2, 3, 4) is also transmitted. The receiving station will
use the key number (1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key
value to use for decryption. If the key value does not
match the transmitting station, decryption will fail.
The easiest way to ensure there are no problems is to
have every Station, including the Access Point, use the
same key table (all entries identical). Then, it does not
matter which key is used as the default key.
