Wireless Configuration B - 19 Encryption NOTE The only available encryption methods in Ad-hoc are Open, WEP40, and WEP104. Use the Encryption dialog box to select an encryption method. This contains fields to configure the encryption method and corresponding keys, if any. The drop-down list includes encryption methods available for the selected security mode and authentication type. Figure B-17 Encryption Dialog Box Based on the encryption method and the authentication type, you may have to manually enter pre-shared encryption keys (or a passkey phrase). When you select any authentication type other than None, 802.1x authentication is used and the keys are automatically generated. Table B-11 Encryption Options Encryption Description Open Select Open (the default) when no data packet encryption is needed over the network. Selecting this option provides no security for data transmitting over the network. WEP-40 (40/24) Select WEP-40 (40/24) to use 64-bit key length WEP encryption (the other 24 bits are generated automatically). Other controls appear that allow you to enter keys. If you select the Use Passkey checkbox, you are asked to enter a passphrase between 4 and 32 characters long on the next page. Saving the profile converts the passphrase into a key and the passphrase is lost. Also, if using a passkey, only one key can be set. If you do not select the Use Passkey checkbox, you can enter up to four hexadecimal keys on the next page. Select the key to enter in the Key Index drop-down menu. This also selects the key used for encryption. Note that Fusion sets default values for these keys, so while that entry is not required, the keys must match the AP.
