Network Setting
The network is set using the SignalFire Toolkit. There can only be one Gateway per
network/group/encryption combination, otherwise they will conflict. In a system with multiple
Gateways, each Gateway must be on a separate network/group/encryption combination.
The
network, network group, and encryption key settings must match those of its nodes for them to
communicate.
Encryption
To protect your over-the-air data and prevent tampering, SignalFire networks come with encryption.
The DIN Gateway v2 comes with “signalfire” set as the default encryption key.
Existing legacy networks may use a Corporate ID, but can be switched over to use an encryption key if
the firmware and ToolKit are up to date. To set up a Gateway on a legacy network using Corporate ID,
click the checkbox labeled
Enable Encryption
and the setting will change from “Key” to “Corporate ID”.
Radio settings box with and without encryption enabled. For more details, click the Help button.
It is also possible to hide your encryption key so it cannot be read. This is the most secure option, but
if you forget your key, there is no way to recover it – you must reset the key on every device on its
network. To enable this option, select
Set Encryption Key Unrecoverable
under the
Settings
menu.
