DESCRIPTION

Security Mode

Choose 802.1x Static 64 or 802.1x Static 128 in this field.

Passphrase

Enter the passphrase or string of text used for automatic WEP key generation on

wireless client adapters (AP mode).

Generate

Click this to get the keys from the Passphrase you entered (AP mode).

Key 1 to Key 4

If you chose 802.1x Static 64, then enter any 5 characters (ASCII string) or 10

hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
If you chose 802.1x Static 128-bit, then enter 13 characters (ASCII string) or 26

hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by

unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the

same on the access points as they are on the wireless stations.
The preceding “0x” is entered automatically. You must configure all four keys, but

only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.

ReAuthentication

Timer

Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and passwords in

order to stay connected.
Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is

1800 seconds (30 minutes). Alternatively, enter “0” to turn reauthentication off.

Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a

RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the
RADIUS server has priority.
