15.2 Wireless Link Encryption FAQ
15.2.1 Encryption data entry fields are not available
Check that the correct license key has been inserted into the unit. The current license key is
displayed on the 'License Key' data entry page.
15.2.2 Link fails to bridge packets after enabling link encryption
If the wireless link status on the status web page indicates that the link is 'Searching', and you can
browse to the local end of the link but not to the remote end, then check that the same encryption
algorithm and key have been entered at both ends of the link. Failure to enter the same algorithm
and key will result in received packets not being decrypted correctly.
15.2.3 Loss of AES following downgrade
When downgrading (using Recovery software image 05-01 onwards) to an earlier version of software
that does not support AES, the unit will indicate that the region code is invalid. The user will be
required to re-install correct software (supplied when AES key was activated) and reboot the unit.
