Advanced Security Configuration
There are numerous possible security settings. It is therefore important that you verify the appropriate
settings with your network administrator. If you enter the settings incorrectly, the Serial Device Server will
not be able to communicate on your network. The following table summarizes the wireless settings
required for each encryption mode and authentication type. The bold values are those which are FIPS
140-2 approved.
