Command Usage

If you use WEP key encryption, the access point uses the transmit key to encrypt multicast and broadcast data signals that it sends to client devices. Other keys can be used for decryption of data from clients.

When using IEEE 802.1x, the access point uses a dynamic WEP key to encrypt unicast and broadcast messages to 802.1x-enabled clients. However, because the access point sends the WEP keys during the 802.1x authentication process, these keys do not have to appear in the client’s WEP key list.

Example

SMC-AP(if-wireless g)#transmit-key 2

SMC-AP(if-wireless g)#

transmit-power

This command adjusts the power of the radio signals transmitted from the access point.

Syntax

transmit-power<signal-strength>

signal-strength- Signal strength transmitted from the access point. (Options: full, half, quarter, eighth, min)

Default Setting
