Encryption
NOTE: Be sure to set the encryption parameters and change the default passwords.
You can protect the wireless data link by using encryption. In addition to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the unit
supports Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit encryption. To provide even stronger encryption, the AES CCM
Protocol is also supported.
Encryption keys can be 5 (64-bit), 13 (WEP 128-bit), or 16 (AES 128-bit) characters in length. Both ends of the wireless
data link must use the same parameter values.
Click Configure > Security > Encryption to set encryption keys for the data transmitted and received by the unit. Note
that all devices in one network must use the same encryption parameters to communicate to each other.
RADIUS Authentication (BSU Only)
In large networks with multiple units, you can maintain a list of MAC addresses on a centralized location using an external
RADIUS authentication server that grants or denies access. If you use this kind of authentication, you must specify at
least the primary external RADIUS server. The backup RADIUS server is optional.
Click Configure > Security > Radius Auth to set the IP address of the external RADIUS server containing the central list
of MAC addresses that are allowed to access the network. The RADIUS parameters let you enable HTTP or Telnet
RADIUS management access to configure a RADIUS Profile for management access control, to enable or disable local
user access, and to configure the local password.
NOTE: RADIUS authentication is available only for BSUs.
