Once you have selected Part A or B, you’ll be
prompted to enter a Key Index.
This index points to the location where the key will
be stored. There are 16 possible memory
locations (0-15) available. Unique master keys
must be stored at location #12, and MAC keys at
location #15.
The interface will default the values for Unique and MAC keys regardless of what you enter. It is very
important to remember that both parts of a key must be entered on the same index. If you enter Part
A on index #2 and Part B on index #3 the key will not be complete. Use the Check Key function
(shown above) to determine where your keys parts have been entered.
If entering a Unique key, next you’ll be prompted to
enter the key serial number.
This 10 digit number is found on the paperwork
containing your master key(s). If the number the
processor has provided is less than 10 digits, you’ll
need to add zeros to the
beginning
of the number
to equal 10 digits.
In the example shown at left, the serial number
is 123456. This 6 digit number would be
changed to 0000123456 to create 10 digits.
The next step is to enter the master key itself. If
you are using TDES, you’ll need to enter the left
portion first.
After entering the key, you’ll be prompted to enter it
a second time for verification.
