Draft 10—This is the default setting. Select this option if client devices that associate with this
access point use Microsoft Windows XP EAP authentication or if LEAP-enabled client devices
that associate with this access point use radio firmware version 4.25 or later. The functionality
in Draft 10 is equivalent to the functionality in Draft 11, the ratified draft of the 802.1x standard.

Select WEP Key 1 as Transmit Key for EAP Authentication
If you use Network-EAP as the authentication type on your wireless network, you must select key 1 as
the transmit key on the access point AP Radio Data Encryption page. The access point uses the WEP key
you enter in key slot 1 to encrypt multicast and broadcast data signals that it sends to EAP-enabled client
devices. Because the access point transmits the WEP key used for multicast messages to the
EAP-enabled client device during the EAP authentication process, that key does not have to appear in
the EAP-enabled device’s WEP key list. The access point uses a dynamic WEP key to encrypt unicast
messages to EAP-enabled clients. When you set up a repeater access point to authenticate as a LEAP
client, the repeater derives a dynamic WEP key and uses it to communicate with the root access point.
Repeaters not set up for LEAP authentication use static WEP keys when communicating with other
access points.

Note
If you do not use EAP authentication on your wireless network, you can select any WEP key as the
transmit key. If you use EAP authentication and you enable broadcast key rotation, you can enable
WEP without entering WEP keys.

MIB File Compatible with Firmware Version 11.00 and Later
The access point MIB file (AWCVX-MIB) is supported only by access point firmware version 11.00 and
later. Earlier versions of firmware do not support this MIB. You can download the access point MIB at
later. Earlier versions of firmware do not support this MIB. You can download the access point MIB at
Hot Standby Mode and Radio Diagnostics Available for 2.4-GHz Radio Only
Hot Standby mode is available only for the 2.4-GHz radio in access points that contain two radios. Hot
Standby mode is not available for 5-GHz radios. Also, the Carrier Test and Antenna Alignment radio
diagnostics tool are available only for the access point’s 2.4-GHz radio.
