2.69 Crypt Password
Changes the password used for the encryption mode environment string (:Y). Both ends of the connection
must agree on the encryption password being used. You must reboot after changing the encryption
password.
Note: To use the encryption features for your MSS, you must use a special software file.
Contact Lantronix for more information.
This command can be used to configure an MSS to MSS encrypted session. Set the encryption password on
both units to be the same password, reboot both units, then telnet either to one of the unit’s local prompts
(i.e. socket 2100) or serial port (i.e. socket 210x where x is the serial port number) using the :Y environment
string. Sockets 2100 and 210x are assumed to be encrypted on the receiving MSS.
Restrictions Requires privileged user status.
Parameters

Enter a new encryption password. The password can be up to 7 alphanumeric
or escaped hex (\xx) characters and is case sensitive.
