Configuring KeyGuard Encryption

KeyGuard is an enhancement to WEP encryption, and was developed before the finalization of WPA-
TKIP. This encryption implementation is based on the IEEE Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) standard, 802.11i.
WPA2-CCMP (not KeyGuard) offers the highest level of security among the encryption methods
available with the access point.
1 Select Network Configuration > Wireless > Security from the access point menu tree.
If security policies supporting KeyGuard exist, they appear within the Security Configuration screen.
These existing policies can be used as is, or their properties edited by clicking the Edit button. To
configure a new security policy supporting KeyGuard, continue to step 2.
2 Click the Create button to configure a new policy supporting KeyGuard.
The New Security Policy screen displays with no authentication or encryption options selected.

Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide
Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the
Generate button. The pass key can be any alphanumeric
string. The access point, other proprietary routers and
Motorola MUs use the algorithm to convert a string to the
same hexadecimal number. MUs without Motorola
adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as
hexadecimal numbers.
Use the Key #1-4 areas to specify key numbers. For WEP
64 (40-bit key), the keys are 10 hexadecimal characters in
length. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26
hexadecimal characters in length. Select one of these keys
for activation by clicking its radio button.
