Configuration Using Web Based Management and the Command Line Interface
● WEP
Encryption with static WEP keys (according to the RC4 algorithm) that you
specify in the Keys menu.
● AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
Encryption according to the
Rijndael algorithm.
● TKIP
Use of dynamic keys. Starting from an initialization key, a new key is generated
for each data packet.
Additional Entries for WPA-PSK
To use the WPA-PSK scheme, you must enter a string in the Pass Phrase box that
is used by the SCALANCE W 788 to initialize dynamic key generation. In the
Group Key Update Interval box, you specify the time after which a new key is gen-
erated.
