Attribute Meaning
Authentication Key The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string
used when Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key.
By default, this key is set to
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Select Key
This option allows operators to choose which authentication key
is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in
Authentication Key is used for authentication
Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the
SM’s MAC address) is used for authentication
Encryption Setting
Specify the type of airlink security to apply to this AP. The
encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the
SMs.
None provides no encryption on the air link.
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link
encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits.
DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and
recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption
does not affect the performance or throughput of the system.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link
encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit
keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES
products are certified as compliant with the Federal
Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A.
SM Display of AP
Evaluation Data
You can use this field to suppress the display of data about this
AP on the AP Evaluation tab of the Tools page in all SMs that
register.
Web, Telnet, FTP
Session Timeout
Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions
via HTTP, telnet, or ftp access to the AP.
IP Access Control You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP
Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one,
two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access
Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering
Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three
Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted
from any IP address
