• WEP Key Index — Click the WEP encryption key index: 1, 2, 3, or 4.

  Specifying the WEP key index is supported only for AP37XX wireless APs.

• WEP Key Length — Click the WEP encryption key length: 64 bit, 128 bit, or 152 bit.

Select an Input Method:

• Input Hex — type the WEP key input in the WEP Key box. The key is generated automatically based on the input.
• Input String — type the secret WEP key string used for encrypting and decrypting in the WEP Key String box. The WEP Key box is automatically filled by the corresponding Hex code.

To enable WPA v1 encryption, select WPA v.1. In the Encryption drop-down list, select one of the following encryption types:

• Auto — The AP will advertise both TKIP and CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) for WPAv1. CCMP is an IEEE 802.11i encryption protocol that uses the encryption cipher AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
• TKIP only — The AP will advertise TKIP as an available encryption protocol for WPAv1. It will not advertise CCMP.

To enable WPA v2 encryption, select WPA v.2. In the Encryption drop-down list, click one of the following encryption types:

• Auto — The AP advertises both TKIP and CCMP (counter mode with cipher block chaining message authentication code protocol). CCMP is an IEEE 802.11i encryption protocol that uses the encryption cipher AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
• AES only — The AP advertises CCMP as an available encryption protocol. It will not advertise TKIP.

To enable re-keying after a time interval, select Broadcast re-key interval. If this checkbox is not selected, the Broadcast encryption key is never changed and the AP will always use the same broadcast key for Broadcast/Multicast transmissions. This will reduce the level of security for wireless communications.

In the Broadcast re-key interval box, type the time interval after which the broadcast encryption key is changed automatically.

To enable the group key power save retry, select Group Key Power Save Retry.

The group key power save retry is supported only for AP37XX Wireless APs.
