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 or bridge AP Radio Data Encryption page. The access point or bridge
uses the WEP key you enter in key slot 1 to encrypt multicast data signals that it sends to EAP-enabled
client devices. Because the access point or bridge 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 or bridge uses a dynamic WEP key to
encrypt unicast messages to EAP-enabled clients. Bridges use static WEP keys when communicating
with other bridges.
