The key selected as the transmit key index is used by the access point for all 
transmissions. Other keys defined can be used by the access point for decrypting 
station communications. When enabling 802.1x security with dynamic session keys, 
key index 4 is reserved for the 802.1x client session key. Therefore, when 802.1x 
clients are in the network, the access point should not be configured to use key index 4 
as the transmit key index.
