Depending on the card type, the Encryption Key Length will be 40- or 128-bits. This will determine the number of
characters allowed for each the Encryption Key. Select the encryption key length from the drop-down menu.
You can specify up to four encryption keys between 5 and 12 alphanumeric characters depending on the key length
supported by the PC Card in each slot. However, you will only use one key to encrypt data to be transmitted.

When you decide to use the 802.1x security mode, you must first configure the RADIUS server to receive an
authentication response. Your computer operating system must also be configured to receive and send authenticated
packets.

With 802.1x security mode, an Encryption Key entry is not required, since this mode creates keys dynamically. In
Mixed mode, Encryption Keys 2-4 are not required.

The rekey feature determines how often your encryption key is changed (the interval between changes) and can be set
to any value between 60 - 65535 seconds. Compared with re-authentication, 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.
