Configuration Section 3 Field Network Key Rotation Interval: (ADVANCED) WEP Encryption: (ADVANCED) WEP Network Keys 1-4: (ADVANCED) Current WEP Network Key Index: (ADVANCED) Description With WPA encryption methods, the WA840 can issue clients new encryption keys for multicast and broadcast packets on periodic basis. This field sets that periodic interval in seconds. Leave this field blank, or set the value to zero, to disable this periodic update. NOTE: Network Key Rotation Interval is greyed out and unchangeable unless WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK is Enabled. FACTORY DEFAULT: 86400 Enables Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. • Selecting Enabled engages WEP. • Selecting Disabled disengages WEP. NOTE: WEP Encryption requires the entry of at least one WEP Network Key (below). FACTORY DEFAULT: Disabled Sets up to four specific encryption keys which be used with WEP encryption. You can enter 64-bit keys or 128-bit keys: • 64-bit keys must be made up of either 5 case-sensitive ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). • 128-bit keys must be made up of either 13 case-sensitive ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). NOTES: 1) You can only enter WEP Network Keys if WEP Encryption (above) is Enabled. 2) Do not enter simple patters of numbers (e.g., all zeroes) as WEP Network Keys. These keys would not be secure. 3) WEP Network Keys need not be entered if 802.1X Authentication (above) is Enabled, since the RADIUS server will dynamically generate keys. 4) If WEP Encryption and WPA Encryption (above) are concurrently Enabled, Network Key slots 1 and 4 are reserved for WPA functions and you will only be able to enter WEP Network Keys into slots 2 and 3. FACTORY DEFAULT: (blank) Sets which WEP Network Key (above) will be used for encryption. Select from 1 to 4. NOTE: If WEP Encryption and WPA Encryption (above) are concurrently Enabled, Network Key slots 1 and 4 are reserved for WPA functions and the Current WEP Network Key Index will only be able to select between 2 and 3.

Section 3
WA840
3-65
Field
Description
Network Key
Rotation
Interval:
(ADVANCED)
With WPA encryption methods, the WA840 can issue clients new
encryption keys for multicast and broadcast packets on periodic
basis.
This field sets that periodic interval in seconds.
Leave this
field blank, or set the value to zero, to disable this periodic update.
NOTE
: Network Key Rotation Interval
is greyed out and unchangeable
unless
WPA
,
WPA2
,
WPA-PSK
, or
WPA2-PSK
is
Enabled
.
FACTORY DEFAULT:
86400
WEP
Encryption:
(ADVANCED)
Enables Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.
•
Selecting
Enabled
engages WEP.
•
Selecting
Disabled
disengages WEP.
NOTE
: WEP Encryption
requires the entry of at least one
WEP
Network Key
(below).
FACTORY DEFAULT:
Disabled
WEP Network
Keys 1-4:
(ADVANCED)
Sets up to four specific encryption keys which be used with WEP
encryption.
You can enter 64-bit keys or 128-bit keys:
•
64-bit keys
must be made up of either 5 case-sensitive ASCII
characters or 10 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F).
•
128-bit keys
must be made up of either 13 case-sensitive
ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F).
NOTES
:
1)
You can only enter
WEP
Network Keys
if
WEP Encryption
(above) is
Enabled
.
2)
Do not enter simple patters of numbers (e.g., all zeroes) as
WEP
Network Keys
.
These keys would not be secure.
3)
WEP
Network Keys
need not be entered if
802.1X
Authentication
(above) is
Enabled
, since the RADIUS server
will dynamically generate keys.
4) If
WEP Encryption
and
WPA Encryption
(above) are
concurrently
Enabled
, Network Key slots 1 and 4 are reserved
for WPA functions and you will only be able to enter
WEP
Network Keys
into slots 2 and 3.
FACTORY DEFAULT:
(blank)
Current WEP
Network Key
Index:
(ADVANCED)
Sets which WEP Network Key (above) will be used for encryption.
Select from
1
to
4
.
NOTE
:
If
WEP Encryption
and
WPA Encryption
(above) are
concurrently
Enabled
, Network Key slots 1 and 4 are reserved for
WPA functions and the
Current
WEP
Network Key Index
will
only be able to select between 2 and 3.
