Changing the Link Password
The Radio Link is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption System
(AES) using a 128 bit dynamic key. During the installation process, you
must enter a Link Password. An Initial encryption key is then
generated. Each time a link is established, the system validates the
Encryption key. If the validation fails, the link is established but no
service or configuration is allowed. In this state, you can change the
link password for each of the sites.
Note:
Returning to factory defaults returns the Link Password to the default
password
