5. Select the appropriate wireless encryption mode and enter the required settings (check with your network administrator for the proper settings if you do not know them). Appendix A lists the possible encryption settings.

Click the Submit button at the bottom of the window (you may need to scroll) to save your changes.

To enter the Authentication Server root signing certifcate, click on Configure

Authentication Server Certificate

6. Enter the filename containing the CA key certificate. used for the Authentication Server public key. Use the browse button if desired. Click submit to send the certificate to the SX- 500.

To load SX-500 RSA public and private keys, return to the Network Security page and click on Configure Private Key.

7. If you are entering an externally generated

key pair, enter the file name, and PEM passphrase if required, in the upper form on the page. Click submit to send the key data to the SX-500. If the private key and public key certificate are in separate files, this will need to be done twice.

If you wish to have the SX-500 generate the private key/public key self signed certificate pair for you, enter the desired information for the public key certificate in the second form on the page, and click on submit. When the generation operation is complete, the public key certificate may be retrieved by clicking on one of the links at the bottom of the page, in order to pass the certificate to the Authentication Server.

Now click I/O Port on the left side of the screen to configure the serial port.
