Field Description

802.1X mode

Can only be enabled when the ESS Authorization is set to Open or
PSK and either WEP64 or WEP128 is selected (see the Encryption
Status field). During the Authentication process, the server verifies the
identity of the client attempting to connect to the network. When WPA
or WPA-PSK is selected in the ESS Authentication field, this option is
automatically selected.

If not already enabled, select to activate this feature. When enabled,
Dynamic Key generation occurs, meaning a key is automatically
generated when the client requests one.

Key Input
Method

Available if PSK and/or WEP is selected. The options are:

Pass Phrase (default setting)
Hexadecimal
ASCII

If you select either Pass Phrase or Hexadecimal, in Key Content, the
format of the Key appears in a hexadecimal format.

If you are using other non-Motorola wireless products and a security
algorithm other than WPA-PSK, you must enter your WEP keys
manually in either ASCII or hexadecimal format for the non-Motorola
wireless products.

Pass Phrase

Enter the Pass Phrase to be used for Key encryption. Keep a record of
this Pass Phrase so you can enter the same phrase for the Motorola
client devices on your wireless LAN, if supported. You will use this
Pass Phrase when using WPA security with your client devices. Pass
Phrase must be between 8 and 63 characters.

The default pass phrase is motorola.

Key Length

The option selected determines the strength of the key. Only available
when ESS mode is set to PSK and the Encryption Status is set to
None.

There are two options:

128-bit
64-bit.
