| Network Key |
| With WPA encryption methods, the WR850 can issue clients new |
|
| Rotation |
| encryption keys for multicast and broadcast packets on periodic |
|
| Interval: |
| basis. This field sets that periodic interval in seconds. Leave this |
|
| (ADVANCED) |
| field blank, or set the value to zero, to disable this periodic update. |
|
|
|
| NOTE: Network Key Rotation Interval is greyed out and unchangeable |
|
|
|
| unless WPA, WPA2, |
|
|
|
| FACTORY DEFAULT: 86400 |
|
| WEP |
| Enables Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. |
|
| Encryption: |
| • Selecting Enabled engages WEP. |
|
| (ADVANCED) |
|
| |
|
| • Selecting Disabled disengages WEP. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| NOTE: WEP Encryption requires the entry of at least one WEP |
|
|
|
| Network Key (below). |
|
|
|
| FACTORY DEFAULT: Disabled |
|
| WEP Network |
| Sets up to four specific encryption keys which be used with WEP |
|
| Keys |
| encryption. You can enter |
|
| (ADVANCED) |
| • |
|
|
|
| characters or 10 hexadecimal digits |
|
|
|
| • |
|
|
|
| ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits |
|
|
|
| NOTES: |
|
|
|
| 1) You can only enter WEP Network Keys if WEP Encryption |
|
|
|
| (above) is Enabled. |
|
|
|
| 2) Do not enter simple patters of numbers (e.g., all zeroes) as |
|
|
|
| WEP Network Keys. These keys would not be secure. |
|
|
|
| 3) WEP Network Keys need not be entered if 802.1X |
|
|
|
| Authentication (above) is Enabled, since the RADIUS server |
|
|
|
| will dynamically generate keys. |
|
|
|
| 4) If WEP Encryption and WPA Encryption (above) are |
|
|
|
| concurrently Enabled, Network Key slots 1 and 4 are reserved |
|
|
|
| for WPA functions and you will only be able to enter WEP |
|
|
|
| Network Keys into slots 2 and 3. |
|
|
|
| FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) |
|
| Current WEP |
| Sets which WEP Network Key (above) will be used for encryption. |
|
| Network Key |
| Select from 1 to 4. |
|
| Index: |
| NOTE: If WEP Encryption and WPA Encryption (above) are |
|
| (ADVANCED) |
| concurrently Enabled, Network Key slots 1 and 4 are reserved for |
|
|
|
| WPA functions and the Current WEP Network Key Index will |
|
|
|
| only be able to select between 2 and 3. |
