5 To enable WPA v1 encryption, select WPA v.1.
6 If WPA v.1 is enabled, select one of the following encryption types from the Encryption drop-down
list:
● Auto – The AP will advertise both TKIP and CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining
Message Authentication Code Protocol) for WPAv1. CCMP is an IEEE 802.11i encryption protocol
that uses the encryption cipher AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). Auto is the default.
● TKIP only – The AP will advertise TKIP as an available encryption protocol for WPAv1. It will
not advertise CCMP.
7 To enable WPA v2-type encryption, select WPA v.2.
8 To enable re-keying after a time interval, select Broadcast re-key interval.
If this checkbox is not selected, the Broadcast encryption key is never changed and the Altitude AP
will always use the same broadcast key for Broadcast/Multicast transmissions. This will reduce the
level of security for wireless communications.
9 In the Broadcast re-key interval box, type the time interval after which the broadcast encryption key
is changed automatically. The default is 3600.
10 In the Pre-Shared Key box, type the shared secret key to be used between the wireless device and
Altitude AP. The shared secret key is used to generate the 256-bit key.
11 In order to proofread your entry before saving the configuration, click Unmask to display the Pre-
Shared Key. To mask the key, click Mask.
12 To save your changes, click Save.
