Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management

SECURITY SETTINGS

To prevent misuse, the MP.11 provides wireless data encryption and password-protected access. It is important to set the encryption parameters and change the default passwords.

Encryption

You can protect the wireless data link by using encryption. Both ends of the wireless data link must use the same parameter values.

To set the encryption parameters, click: Configure Æ Security Æ Encryption.

You can set the following encryption parameters:

Encryption Status

This parameter enables or disables WEP encryption.

Key Length

The encryption key length determines the level of security and must always be set. The values that can be set depend upon the radio type. MP.11 always has a “GOLD” card allowing 128-bit encryption. For backward compatibility, the 40 bits encryption is available (but is never used with WORP).

Encryption Key 1 – 4

These WEP encryption keys require an alphanumeric value. The length of the value depends upon the Key Length parameter.

Encrypt Data Transmissions Using

This parameter determines which encryption key is used.
