• The 128-bit Shared Key Algorithm uses a 128-bit encryption key known by both
the terminal and the AP to encrypt the data over the network. This option
provides a higher level of security than the 40-bit encryption while maintaining
an 11 Mbps data rate.
• Select Kerberos if your network employs the Kerberos system. Enter the KDC
and Realm values. The KDC is located on a server and maintains information
about the access points and users it supports, and also permits the
transmission and receipt of data once the credentials of the user are verified.
Enter the name of the server that hosts the Kerberos KDC in the Realm field.
