authentication
• Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SM’s MAC address) will be used

Encryption
Specify the type of air link security to apply to this AP:
• Encryption Disabled provides no encryption on the air link. This is the default mode.
• Encryption Enabled provides encryption, using a factory-programmed secret key that is
unique for each module.
Encrypt Downlink Broadcast
When Encryption Enabled is selected in the Airlink Security parameter (described above) and
Enable is selected in the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast parameter, the AP encrypts downlink
broadcast packets as
• DES where the AP is DES capable.
• AES where the AP is AES capable.
For more information about the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast feature, see Encrypting Downlink
Broadcasts on Page 438.
