Encryption Type
: Select the encryption type to use for data transmitted over the
wireless interface. When AES encryption is enabled, the identical setting must be made
on both communicating units before Ethernet packets can be transferred over-the-air. To
use encryption, a shared key must be entered or an ECDSA certificate must be loaded
on the remote terminal.
None
: Encryption is disabled. Unused fields are hidden.
AES 128
: Advanced Encryption Standard using 128-bit encryption.
AES 256
: Advanced Encryption Standard using 256-bit encryption.
Shared key
: Enter the encryption key. This it the common key for all communicating
systems. The Shared Key is not required when using ECDSA certificates. The shared
key entry field is hidden when 'ECDSA Authentication Enable' or 'enc Auto-mode enable'
