Radius Port This field allows the operator to configure a custom port for RADIUS
server communication. The default value is

.
Authentication Key The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used

default, this key is set to
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Selection Key This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is

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 Key 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.
