Data Encryption Mode
The Data Encryption Mode option allows enabling or disabling data
encryption. When enabled, all data frames are encrypted.
The default is Disable.
NOTE
The BU and the RB it serves should be configured to the same Data Encryption Mode
option.
Security Mode
The Security Mode option enables selecting the algorithm to be used for
encrypting the authentication messages and/or data frames.
The available options are WEP and AES.
The default is WEP.
Default Key (RB only):
The Default Key defines the Key to be used for encrypting/decrypting
the authentication messages (Shared Key mode) and/or data frames
(Data Encryption enabled). The BU learns the Default Key from the RB.
Available values range from 1 to 4.
The default is KEY # 1.
Key # 1 to Key # 4
The Key # options enables defining the encryption key to be used for
initializing the pseudorandom number generator that forms a part of
the encryption/decryption process. The Keys must be set before the
Shared Key authentication mode or Data Encryption can be used. To
support proper operation, both the Key # and the content must be
identical at both sides of a wireless link.
Each Key is a string of 32 hexadecimal numbers.
The default for all 4 Keys is 000…0 (a string of 32 zeros), which means
no key.
