with the system unless the adoption list specifically excludes it.

choosing 40- or 128-bit encryption and supplying four keys.
•
Keyguard MCM – KeyGuard encryption for TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). This mode is only
supported by Symbol mobile devices. KeyGuard requires a 128-bit WEP key.
