Basic Management Tsunami MP.11 5012-SUR Installation and Management

Security Settings

To prevent misuse, the 5012-SUR provides wireless data encryption and password-protected access. Be sure to set the

encryption parameters and change the default passwords.

In addition to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the units support Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit

encryption. Two types of the AES encryption are available. Previous releases supported only the AEC-OCB; the AES

CCM protocol is now also supported.

Proxim highly recommends you change the Network Name, Network Secret, and Encryption Key, as soon as possible.

To change the Network Name and Network Secret, click Configure > Interfaces > Wireless. To set the encryption key,

click Configure > Security > Encryption. For systems that will use roaming features, the Network Name, Network

Secret, and Encryption Key should each be the same for all SUs that are allowed to roam as well as for all BSUs to

which these SUs are allowed to roam.

Encryption

You can protect the wireless data link by using encryption. Encryption keys can be 5 (64-bit), 13 (WEP 128-bit), or 16

(AES 128-bit) characters in length. Both ends of the wireless data link must use the same parameter values.

To set the encryption parameters, click Configure > Security > Encryption. See Configure Encryption Parameters.

Passwords

Access to the units are protected with passwords. The default password is public. For better security it is recommended

to change the default passwords to a value (6-32 characters) known only to you.

To change the unit’s HTTP, Telnet, or SNMP passwords, click Configure > Management >Password. See Configure

Passwords.
