Encryption must be configured with the same size key in each direction.
AES encryption at the PTP 700 wireless port is based on pre-shared keys. An identical key must
be entered at each end of the link.
AES encryption for SNMPv3 or TLS is always based on a 128-bit key, regardless of level
enabled in the PTP 700 license key.

Critical security parameters
The critical security parameters (CSPs) are as follows:
Key of keys.
AES encryption keys for the wireless interface.
Private key for the HTTPS/TLS interface.
Entropy value for the HTTPS/TLS interface.
User account passwords for the web-based interface.
CSPs can be reset (zeroized) along with other security-related attributes using the web-based
interface.
