Configuring with Web Based Management
6.10 "Security" menu
● Default Key
Specify the WEP key used to encrypt the data. You define the WEP key on the "Keys" page.
● PMF (Protected Management Frames)
Can only be used with the following:
– WLAN mode: IEEE 802.11n or ac
– Type of authentication: WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (RADIUS)
With this setting, the management frames are cryptographically protected. This prevents,
for example, the WLAN client being separated from the access point due to corrupted
disassociation / deauthenticate frames. You can find more information on this in the IEEE
802.11w standard.
The following settings are possible:
– Disabled
– Required
– Optional
Procedure
1. Select the required security settings. The settings that are possible depend on the set
"Authentication Type".
2. Click the "Set Values" button.

The management frames are not encrypted.
The management frames are always encrypted. A connection of the WLAN clients to the
access point is only possible when these also support PMF.
The management frames are encrypted or unencrypted depending on support of the
WLAN client.
