Configuring for Security
Using the Access Point 2000 Console Port
To configure encryption using the console port, perform the following:
1. Choose Module-Specific Options from the RoamAbout AP Installation Menu.
2. Choose Set Encryption Configuration.
Set Encryption Key: Use these menu options to enter the keys.
Set Transmit Key ID: Choose one key to be the transmit key. Each AP can use a
different transmission key as long as the other devices have that key entered in the
same position.
Set Exclude Unencrypted: Only valid if the AP is configured for a wireless
infrastructure network.
— Enable to only accept encrypted data from clients. Only clients that have the
correct keys can participate in this network.
— Disable to accept both encrypted and unencrypted data from different clients.
This allows clients who require security to use encryption without preventing
other clients from using the network.
Set Encryption State: Enable encryption.
3. To prevent any management tool using SNMP, including the AP Manager, from
changing the encryption parameters, enable the Set Exclude SNMP menu option.
4. Select Reset with Current Settings from the RoamAbout AP Installation Menu. You
do not need to reset the AP if you only add, delete, or modify keys, or change the
transmit key. Allow approximately one minute for the AP to reset and complete its
self-test.
