In Cisco devices, AES is applied using a proprietary encoding
algorithm, enabling industry-grade network security.
IMPORTANT
The AES feature must be enabled using a software plug-in
(
FM-AES
). Contact your Cisco Networks representativefor
details.
To use the
Data Packet Encryption
setting, do the following steps:
Click the
1.
Data Packet Encryption
drop-down menu.
2.
Choose the correct encryption activation setting from the list of
drop-down options.
NOTE
If Cisco plug-in FM-AES is not installed, the
ENABLED
drop-down option will not be available.
3.
Click the
Save
button to save your settings. Alternatively, clear
the settings by clicking the

Using the Maximum link length setting
This setting is used to set the maximum distance between the relevant
wireless links. It is also used to set media access control (MAC) layer
timeouts for transmitted packets.
To choose the
Maximum link length
setting manually, do the following
steps:
1.
Choose the unit of distance measurement (Kilometres or Miles)
by clicking the correct radio button.
Enter a distance setting in the
2.
Distance
field.
IMPORTANT
If too short a distance value is entered, unnecessary
packet re-transmissions may occur, degrading overall
link performance.
3.
Click the
Save
button to save your settings. Alternatively, clear
the settings by clicking the
Cancel
button.
To let the system choose the optimal
Maximum link length
setting and
MAC layer timeouts automatically, check the
Automatic
check-box.
