Authentication Algorithm The Authentication Algorithm option determines the operation mode
of the selected unit. The following two options are available:
 Open System: An SU/RB configured to Open System can only
associate with an AU/BU also configured to Open System. In this
case, the authentication encryption algorithm is not used.
 Shared Key: The authentication messages are encrypted. An
SU/RB configured to use a Shared Key can only be authenticated
by an AU/BU configured to use a Shared Key, provided the
applicable Key (which means both the key number and its
content) in the AU/BU is identical to the key selected as the
Default Key in the SU/RB.
The AU/BU and all the SUs/RB it serves should be configured to the
same Authentication Algorithm option. Mixed operation is not
supported.
