Avaya AP-5, AP-4, AP-6 manual Enable WPA Mode, Set Security Mode to WPA

Configure Multiple SSID/VLAN/Security Mode Entries

2.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.

3.Place a check mark in the box labeled Enable Encryption (WEP).

4.Configure Encryption Key 1 only (i.e., do not configure Keys 2 through 4). Keep in mind the following:

—For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters (see ASCII Character Chart).

—For 128-bit encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal characters or 13 ASCII characters.

—For 152-bit encryption, an encryption key is 32 hexadecimal characters or 16 ASCII characters.
