Security
1. Within the 802.1x Configuration screen, set 802.1x Security
Mode to Mixed.
2. Select an Encryption Key Length.
• The AP-4 supports 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.
• The AP-5 supports 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.
3. Enter a Re-keying Interval.
• The Re-keying Interval determines how often a client's
encryption key is changed and can be set to any value between
60 - 65535 seconds. Rekeying frustrates hacking attempts
without taxing system resources. Setting a fairly frequent rekey
value (900 seconds=15 minutes) effectively protects against
intrusion without disrupting network activities.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
5. Click the Encryption tab.
6. Place a check mark in the box labeled Enable Encryption (WEP).
7. Configure Encryption Key 1 only (i.e., do not configure Keys 2
through 4). Keep in mind the following:
• Use the same key size (64/128-bit) that you configured for
Encryption Key Length on the 802.1x page.
• For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal
characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters (see
Character
• For 128-bit encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal
characters or 13 ASCII characters.
