Managing System and Station Security
Encryption Methods
Legacy 802.11 clients may connect Open (no encryption), or WEP.
In WEP, the encryption key can be either 40bit or 104bit.
In WPA, WBS-2400 supports TKIP encryption.
Since some clients may be legacy (supporting only WEP), WBS-2400 has the capability to
have SSIDs that support both WEP and TKIP clients. In this case, the broadcast key is
WEP, while the unicast key is either TKIP or WEP, depending on the way the client
connected to the system. This mode is called TSN (Transient Security Network). ..
Note:
#2, since key #1 is used by TKIP.
Viewing the SSID-VLAN Pages
The primary SSID can be configured with Management VLAN or without Management VLAN
(default). The default page for the SSID-VLAN is presented first in this documentation. The
