Enable Mixed Mode (802.1x and WEP Encryption)
Follow these steps to use both 802.1x and WEP Encryption
simultaneously (clients that do not support 802.1x use WEP Encryption
for security purposes):
1. Within the 802.1x Configuration screen, set 802.1x Security
Mode to Mixed.
2. Enter a Re-keying Interval.
— The Re-keying Interval determines how often a client’s
encryption key is changed and can be set to any value
between 60 - 65535 seconds. Rekeying frustrates hacking
attempts without taxing system resources. Setting a fairly
frequent rekey value (900 seconds=15 minutes) effectively
protects against intrusion without disrupting network activities.
3. Click OK to save the changes.
4. Click the Encryption tab.
5. Place a check mark in the box labeled Enable Encryption (WEP).
6. Configure Encryption Key 1 only (i.e., do not configure Keys 2
through 4). Keep in mind the following:
— For 64-bit encryption, an encryption key is 10 hexadecimal
characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters (see ASCII
Character Chart).
— For 128-bit encryption, an encryption key is 26 hexadecimal
characters or 13 ASCII characters.
