The Encryption drop-down menu offers you the following two options:

Auto – If you click Auto, the Altitude AP will advertise both TKIP and 
CCMP (counter mode with cipher block chaining message 
authentication code protocol).

TKIP  only – If you click TKIP only, the Altitude AP will advertise TKIP 
as an available encryption protocol. It will not advertise CCMP.

6. Select WPA v2.

If you select WPA v2, its subordinate Encryption drop-down menu is 
enabled. 

The Encryption drop-down menu offers you the following two options – Auto 
and TKIP only. For more information, see Step # 

.

7. To enable re-keying after a time interval, select Broadcast re-key interval.

If this feature is not selected, the broadcast encryption key is never changed 
and the Altitude AP will always use the same broadcast key for broadcast/
multicast transmissions. This will compromise the security for wireless 
communications.

8. In the Broadcast re-key interval text box, type the time interval after which 

you want the broadcast encryption key to be changed automatically. The 
default is 3600.

9. In the Pre-shared Key text box, type the shared secret key that is to be used 

between the wireless device and the Altitude AP. 

The shared secret key is used to generate the 256 bit key.

10. To confirm your entry, click Unmask. The shared key entry is displayed.

You must always unmask the shared secret key before you save your 
settings.

11. To save your changes, click Save.
