TRX7431 WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 DS SS Radios
D-4
Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual
When this parameter is configured, radio traffic is encrypted to protect it from
electronic eavesdroppers. The “WEP Encrypt” sub-menu provides four encryption
keys – Key 1 to Key 4. The transmit key – TX Key 1 – is used to define which
encryption key will be used to encrypt transmissions.
Encryption Keys – Key 1 to Key 4
Encryption keys Key 1 to Key 4 accept either ASCII or hex values. Keep the
following in mind when assigning encryption key values:
• If you enter a hexadecimal value, precede it with ‘0x’.
• Ensure that you enter the same encryption key value on the terminal and on
the Access Point with which the terminal will be communicating.
Depending on the type of Lucent WaveLAN card installed in your terminal (Silver
or Gold), the allowable encryption value varies.
Allowable values common to both Silver and Gold PC cards are as follows:
Values restricted to Gold PC cards only are as follows:
TX Key
This parameter allows you to specify the encryption key – from 1 to 4 – that will
be used to encrypt transmissions. For example, if you assign a value of 1, ‘Key 1’ is
used to encrypt transmissions. If you assign a value of 2, ‘Key 2’ is used to encrypt
transmissions, and so on.
Note: While all transmissions are encrypted using the key specified in
“Tx Key”, the radio will receive traffic encrypted with any of the
encryption keys.
