● Default Key
Specify the WEP key used to encrypt the data. You define the WEP key on the "Keys" page.
● PMF (Protected Management Frames)
Can only be used with the following:
– WLAN mode: IEEE 802.11n or ac
– Type of authentication: WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (RADIUS)
With this setting, the management frames are cryptographically protected. This prevents,
for example, the WLAN client being separated from the access point due to corrupted
disassociation / deauthenticate frames. You can find more information on this in the IEEE
802.11w standard.
The following settings are possible:
– Disabled
The management frames are not encrypted.
– Required
The management frames are always encrypted. A connection of the WLAN clients to the
access point is only possible when these also support PMF.
– Optional
The management frames are encrypted or unencrypted depending on support of the
WLAN client.
Procedure
