[encryption]

This value uses the RC4 algorithm as defined in the IEEE Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard to encrypt data. Enter up to four keys.

The standard RoamAbout PC Card supports the 40-bit encryption only. The standard 40- bit encryption uses a 5-character key (or a 10 digit hexadecimal digits).

The 128-bit encryption uses a 13-character key (or 26 hexadecimal digits) and supports both 40-bit and 128-bit encryption.

Notes:

Keys that use characters are case sensitive.

If using Access Point firmware V5.01 or later, make sure that the Station Firmware of the RoamAbout PC Card in each client is V4.52 or later. Otherwise, you cannot use Key 2, 3, or 4 as the transmit key. Refer to the RoamAbout Wireless Networking Guide for the procedure to check firmware versions.

A hexadecimal digit key must start with 0x, which is not counted in the number of digits. For example, 0xABCDEF0123 is a valid 40-bit encryption hexadecimal key (10 hexadecimal digits).

The position of each key is important, since the clients must enter the same key in the same position to communicate with the Access Point.

transmit key. This value sets which of the following keys are used to encrypt transmitted data. The default setting for this value is 1.

encryption key 1. This value is one of the keys to use for encrypting and decrypting data on the radio.

encryption key 2. This value is one of the keys to use for encrypting and decrypting data on the radio.

encryption key 3. This value is one of the keys to use for encrypting and decrypting data on the radio.

encryption key 4. This value is one of the keys to use for encrypting and decrypting data on the radio.
