Configuring Security Settings
The AP-600 offers four security settings:
127(
127(127(
127(
802.1x settings are located under the
802.1x
heading. WEP Encryption settings are located under the
Encryption
heading.
• No security or encryption
• WEP encryption only
– See WEP Encryption for details.
• 802.1x security
• Mixed Mode (802.1x and WEP Encryption)
802.1x Security
Follow these steps to enable 802.1x only:
1. Within the
802.1x Configuration
screen, set 802.1x Security Mode to 802.1x.
2. Select an Encryption Key Length.
• The AP-600b supports 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.
• The AP-600a supports 64-bit, 128-bit, and 152-bit encryption.
3. Enter a Re-keying Interval.
• The Re-keying Interval determines how often a client’s encryption key is changed and can be set to any value
between 60 - 65535 seconds. Rekeying frustrates hacking attempts without taxing system resources. Setting
a fairly frequent rekey value (900 seconds=15 minutes) effectively protects against intrusion without disrupting
network activities.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
5. If you have not already done so, configure the RADIUS authentication settings (see RADIUS Authentication with
802.1x for details.
6. Reboot the Access Point.
