4.3.6.2 Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless chan-

nels, you should enable encryption. Encryption requires you

to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the

Gateway and all of your wireless clients. However, please

aware that the extra processing time required for encryption

may affect the throughput for wireless communications.

You can automatically generate encryption keys by entering

a pass phrase that will be used to create four keys as shown

below, or you can manually enter the keys. To manually

configure the keys, enter five hexadecimal pairs for each

key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range

0-9 or A-F.)

4-19
