Explanation
Determines if this access point uses 802.1x authentication.
Enable this feature to use IAPP (Inter Access Point protocol) for
security context handoffs. This feature uses the advantages of the
spanning tree for faster roaming. Devices do not have to perform a full
reauthentication each time they roam between access points.
Disable this feature if you want to use the 802.1x standard for
reauthentication or if the supplicant functionality that is implemented
on the device does not support it.
Enter a key that the access points use to encrypt and sign security
context exchanges. This key must be the same in all access points and
can contain from 1 to 32 characters. Intermec recommends that this key
contain at least 16 characters. You can enter the key in ASCII or in
hexadecimal. To enter a hexadecimal key, it must start with 0x. For
example, enter the ASCII key as ABCDE; enter the same hexadecimal
key as 0x4142434445.
Enter how often (in seconds) you want the access point to generate a
new WEP key to use in the wireless network.
Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server that you want to use to
perform the authentication.
Enter the shared secret key for the RADIUS server. You can enter the
key from 1 to 32 characters in ASCII or in hexadecimal. To enter a
hexadecimal key, it must start with 0x. For example, enter the ASCII
key as ABCDE; enter the same hexadecimal key as 0x4142434445.
Enter the IP address of the backup RADIUS server that you want to
perform the authentication if RADIUS server #1 is unavailable.
Enter the shared secret key for the backup RADIUS server. You can
enter the key from 1 to 32 characters in ASCII or in hexadecimal. To
enter a hexadecimal key, it must start with 0x. For example, enter the
ASCII key as ABCDE; enter the same hexadecimal key as
0x4142434445.
