Encryption Properties
Use the Encryption tab in Advanced Properties to control encryption options.
The Encryption tab allows you to encrypt WLAN data packets to protect your data from
inspection by systems that may intercept wireless data over the network.
• In the Mobile Unit Authentication Options section, select either the Open System
or the Shared Key algorithm from the drop-down menu:
• If you select Open System, the terminal can associate with APs that have Open
System or Open System and Shared Key enabled. The data packets
transmitted by terminals or APs over the WLAN are not encrypted.
• If you select Shared Key, the terminal can associate and communicate with
access points that use the Shared Key or Open System and Shared Key
algorithms. Shared Key uses a 40-bit encryption key known by both the terminal
and the AP to encrypt the data over the network. The terminal must provide this
shared key in order to associate with the AP.
