64 Bit Encryption
•
If selected, data is encrypted, using the default key, before being
transmitted. The receiving station must be set to use 64 Bit Encryp-
tion, and have the same Key value in the same position in its key
table. Otherwise, it will not be able to decrypt the data.
•
Default Key - select the key you wish to be the default. Transmitted
data is ALWAYS encrypted using the Default Key; the other Keys
are for decryption only.
•
Key Table:
•
This table is used when Encrypting and Decrypting data. All
stations, including this Access Point, always transmit data e n-
crypted using their default key. The key number (1, 2, 3, 4) is
also transmitted. The receiving station will use the key number
(1, 2, 3, 4) to determine which key value to use for decryption.
