Upload Certificate
File
To upload a certificate manually to a SM, first load it in a
known place on your PC
or
network
drive, then click on a
Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to
delete a certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click
on Choose File, browse to
the
location of the certificate, and
click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio
to use the new certificate.
When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers
to an AP, an indication of In
Use
will appear in the description
block of the certificate being
used.
The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the
private certificate on the
RADIUS
server to provide a
public/private key encryption
system.
Up to 2 certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed
certificate can be deleted
by
clicking the Delete button in the
certificate’s description block on the Configuration >
Security
tab. To restore fhe 2 default certificates, click the Use Default
Certificates button in
the
RADIUS Certificate Settings
parameter block and reboot the
radio.
Encryption Setting Specify the type of airlink security to apply to this SM. The
encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the AP.
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.
Web, Telnet, FTP
Session Timeout
Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via
HTTP, telnet, or FTP access to the SM.
