WavePOINT-II - Quick Installation Guide
Data Encryption
1
When using WaveLAN data encryption in your network, you must
ensure that all WaveLAN devices will be:
■
Equipped with WaveLAN PC Cards that support encryption.
■
Configured with a matching set of encryption keys.
This means that you should configure Turbo 11 MB Gold cards
with 64-bit key values that match the values of the Silver cards.
WaveLAN Legacy Adapters
1
WaveLAN Legacy adapters exist in the following variants:
■
WaveLAN/PCMCIA Kit
■
WaveLAN/EAM Kit
These two types of WaveLAN adapters are no longer marketed by
Lucent Technologies. However as you may still encounter these
adapters in existing WaveLAN installations, they are briefly
described in this document.
WaveLAN/PCMCIA and WaveLAN/EAM exist with or without a
factory installed Security Feature (AES or DES) to encrypt all data
transmitted via the WaveLAN interface(s) of the WavePOINT-II.
WaveLAN/PCMCIA Kit
1
The WaveLAN/PCMCIA kit consists of a Type II PC-Card and radio
module (915 MHz or 2.4 GHz) that are connected via a small
cable. Standard cable length is 45 cm, optionally available are kits
that use a 100 cm cable.
