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
Teln et U I .
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.
