Task 4: Configure security

Configuring AES encryption

AES link encryption is only available to users who have purchased an appropriate
license key. Refer to
To configure AES link encryption on a unit that is not yet in a wireless link, proceed as
follows:
Procedure 6-11 Configure AES link encryption on an unlinked unit
1
Select menu option System, Configuration. The System Configuration
page is displayed
2
Select the Encryption Algorithm, either 'AES 128-bit' or 'AES 256-bit'.
The same algorithm must be used at both ends of the link.
3 Enter and confirm the encryption key. The key consists of 32 or 64 case
insensitive hexadecimal characters. The same key must be used at both
ends of the link.
4 Select Submit Updated System Configuration. The reboot
confirmation dialog is displayed
6
Select Reboot Wireless Unit.
NOTE
To enable AES encryption over an established link: open two browsers, log
into the web interfaces at each end of the link, perform the above procedure
at each unit, then reboot both ends of the link. The software is designed to
allow five seconds so that a user can command both ends of the link to
reboot before the wireless link drops.
CAUTION
Configuring link encryption over an established link will necessitate a
service outage. Therefore, the configuration process should be scheduled
during a period of low link utilization.
