Under the module faceplate there are terminal blocks and a service button (
The service button performs the following functions:
– Factory settings restore (
– IP address assignment (
– Firmware update (
)
5.3 Real time clock
The Module has a built-in real time clock (RTC). Its source of power is a battery.
The timing is in seconds, starting with January 1, 2000 at midnight UTC. RTC indication is used for
writing entries into the log file.
5.4 Log file
The module has built-in encrypted flash memory. The encryption algorithm is Data Encryption
Standard (DES) in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode. The key is the string
superkey
. An
initialization vector is generated using a hash function. The function argument is the password
specified in akYtecToolPro. A checksum is calculated by the CRC32 algorithm and saved in the file
end. The checksum is also encrypted.
Log file of Module will be saved as a few files. The log interval, the restriction on the size of one file
and their number is set by the user in akYtecToolPro. If the log file is full, then the data is overwritten,
starting with the oldest data in the oldest file.
A log file is a collection of records. Entries are separated by line break characters (0x0A0D). Each
entry corresponds to one parameter and consists of fields separated by the “;” character (without
quotes). Entry format is shown in table.
