lgt=####<CR> 

Examples: lgt=300<CR>;   lgt=9999<CR> 

5.15 Enable Transmitter 

The  2788  transmitter  can  be  enabled  for  normal  operation  or  forced  to  be  disabled  by  this 
command. 

et=#<CR>    0 = disable transmitter      1 = enable normal transmitter operation 

Examples: et=0<CR> ;  et=1<CR> 

5.16 Enable Encryption 

The 2788 can encrypt data for additional data security. This command selects encryption. 

ee=#<CR>   0 = disable encryption  1 = enable AES256 encryption 

Examples: ee=0<CR> ; ee=1<CR> 

5.17 Enable Password Entry 

The 2788 can restrict access by forcing an id and password before access is granted. 

ep=#<CR>    0 = disable password entry      1 = enable password entry 

Examples: ep=0<CR> ;  ep=1<CR> 

5.18 ID (Identification Number) 

When password entry is enabled (ep=1), this ID must match to gain access to the 2788. The ID is 
case  sensitive  and  can  be  any  set  of  up  to  16  characters,  including  letters,  numbers,  and 
punctuation marks. The default id is “admin”.

 

id=###. . .###<CR> 

Examples: id=<CR> ;  id=admin<CR> 

5.19 Password 

When password entry is enabled (ep=1), this password must match to gain access to the 2788. 
The  password  is  case  sensitive  and  can  be  any  set  of  up  to  16  characters,  including  letters, 
numbers, and punctuation marks. The default password is password.

 

pw=###. . .###<CR> 

Examples: pw=<CR> ;   id=password<CR> 

5.20 ES Encryption Phrase 

When  encryption  is  enabled  (ee=1),  a  case  sensitive  phrase  of  up  to  32  characters  including 
letters,  numbers,  and  punctuation  marks  is  hashed  to  a  256-bit  AES256  encryption  key  using 
the  SHA256  secure  hashing  algorithm.  This  key  is  used  encrypt  and  decrypt  128-  bit  message 
fragments used in the AES256 encryption standard.
