2.4.1 Encryption

Administration

The ability to change, view or restrict access to encryption administration
settings depends on the

Encryption Admin

configuration parameter. The

options for this parameter are

Serial

and

Any

. These options are

configurable via the Serial UI located in the System Configuration screen.

The

Encryption Admin

parameter effects all interfaces supported by the AP

(Serial, Telnet, HTML Web browser and SNMP). The tables in this section are
useful for determining the access level (to encryption parameters) available
to the user through each type of interface. For example, if the

Encryption

Admin

configuration parameter is selected (in the System Configuration

screen) the user (with admin privileges) sets the option to

Serial

. The user

can View/Modify (through the Serial UI) and can View Only through the
Telnet UI.

A Telnet client can change the setting from

Any

to

Serial.

Once set to

Serial

,

Telnet has no access to this parameter. When the

Encryption Admin

configuration parameter is set to

Any

, WEP Encryption configuration is

allowed on all interfaces.
