Encryption
Provide Key Automatically
•
Enable—A WEP key is dynamically assigned.
•
Disable—A static WEP key is used.
By default, a static WEP key is used.
When you enable this function, the WEP option is automatically set to wep104.
IMPORTANT:
•
This function must be used together with 802.1X authentication.
•
With dynamic WEP encryption configured, the WEP key used to encrypt
unicast frames is negotiated between client and server. If the WEP default
key is configured, the WEP default key is used to encrypt multicast frames.
If not, the device randomly generates a multicast WEP key.
