Encryption Cycles through the available encryption options: Clear Text, WEP64, and
WEP128. Wired Equivalent Privacy is an 802.11 security protocol for wireless
networks. The WEP encryption method is designed to provide the "equivalent"
security available in wireline networks.
• Clear Text causes network packets to be sent out as unencrypted text.
• WEP64 enables WEP encryption at 64-bits. In this case all packets will be
transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• WEP128 enables WEP encryption at 128-bits. All packets are transmitted
with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the number
of bits required for the WEP encryption mode selected.
Generate (Passphrase) Pressing the Generate button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows
you to enter a passphrase and then AUTOMATICALLY generate all four WEP
keys which are compatible only among Modero panels.
• Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key
generation formula. Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical
keys when done on any Modero because they all use the same
Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.
• Take these WEP keys and enter them into the target WAP. When also working
with multiple panels, these WEP Keys (identical across all Modero panels)
must be entered manually into the target WAP.
• Once all panels have been setup in this way, these WEP keys can then be
entered into the associated Wireless Access Point for ease of installation.
• The Passphrase generator is unique to Modero panels. The Key generator on
these Modero panels are specific and do not generate the same keys as
other external non-AMX wireless devices.
- Example: If you enter the word apple into the Passphrase generator on a
3rd-party Wireless Access Point, it comes back with 1a:2b:3c:4d:etc.
Entering the same apple in the Passphrase generator of any Modero panel
generates a different key: a1:b2:c3:d4:etc. Only AMX Modero panels
generate the same Current Key by using a unique Passphrase key
generation technology. A Current Key string, when generated anywhere
else, will not match those created on the Modero panels.
Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation
formula.The passphrase generator is case sensitive.
Default Key Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers in order to select a WEP
key to use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the
corresponding Current Key is displayed. Each of these corresponds to a WEP
key.
• This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to
re-enter that networks’ WEP key.
• It is also sometimes used to set up a rotating key schedule to provide an extra
layer of security.
