•
Device Auth Method
—Controls whether device authentication is
executed locally, via a central server, or not at all. Selecting
Local
uses the Approved Remotes List described later in this
manual. [
None, Local, RADIUS; None
]
•
Encryption
— When enabled, it forces the transceiver to use
AES-128 encryption (RC4-128 on iNET) on all over-the-air
messages. This option requires the Encryption Phrase to be pre-
viously configured. Both the AP and the Remote radios must
use the same encryption phrase. (Some units may not be autho-
rized to use encryption. “See
“
Authorization Keys Menu” on
Page 107” for additional details.) [
Enabled, Disabled; Disabled
]
•
Auto Key Rotation
—When enabled, it forces the transceiver to use
the key rotation algorithm to generate a new encryption key
after 500 kilobytes of information has been transmitted, or one
hour has elapsed. [
Enabled, Disabled; Disabled
]
•
Approved Access Points/Remotes List
—Displays a menu to man-
age the list of other radios with which this unit will be permitted
to communicate.
•
Encryption Phrase
—Phrase (text & numbers) that will be used by
the encryption algorithm.
[
8 to 29 alphanumeric characters; Blank
]
•
Force Key Rotation
— It triggers an immediate key rotation of the
encryption keys before the internal counters do it automatically.
Local Authentication—Approved Remotes/Access Points
List Submenu
Setting the
Device Auth Method
to
Local
forces the transceiver to check the
Approved AP List
before a radio link can be established. In the case of a
Remote, the AP must be in the
Approved Access Points List
before it
accepts the beacon as being valid. In the case of an AP, a Remote must
be in the
Approved Remotes List
to be granted authorization. Before
enabling this option, at least one entry must already exist in the
Approved AP/Remotes List
.
