Encryption Methods
Legacy 802.11 clients can either connect using the Open authentication (see above), or WEP. In WEP, the
encryption key can be either 40bit or 104bit. In WPA, WBSn-2400 supports TKIP encryption.
In order to support legacy clients, (supporting only WEP), WBSn-2400 enables the TSN (Transient Security
Network) mode, which allows VAPs 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 manner in which the client is
connected to the system.
Note: When you configure a TSN VAP, key #1 is used by TKIP, and you should therefore configure the WEP
key as key #2.

Radio configuration (basic)
To configure the radio settings, navigate to Configuration => Wireless => Radio. Select the required
channel bandwidth and specify the parameters, as described in the following table.
Note: Only 2.4 GHz is available for this WBSn release. 5.0 GHz will be available for future releases.
