Figure 63. Security encryption configuration window.
The
Security
window provides a list of tabs that can be used to view and setup the
security configuration of the SpeedNet ME Radio. Selecting a tab will provide a list of
configurable options.
The
Encryption
tab, shown in Figure 63, can be used to enable or disable encryp-
tion, change encryption keysets, and upload network and security configuration files. The
following parameters can be configured.
•
Set Network Configuration
—After creating a network configuration file
using the SpeedNet KeyGen Utility (see the “Network Configuration” section on page
20), this option allows administrators to upload the network configuration file to the
SpeedNet ME Radio. Click the
Browse
button to locate the network configuration
file, which will have a .dat file extension. Then, click the
Upload
button to insert the
network configuration into the SpeedNet ME Radio. Note that the network configu-
ration file loaded into a particular radio must either be encrypted with that radio’s
MAC address (for initial configuration) or with a keyset loaded into that radio. You
will be prompted to login to the SpeedNet Client Tool after the network configuration
has been applied. Note that after a radio is reset to the factory setting, the network
configuration and/or setting the security configuration are the only actions allowed
on that radio.
•
Set Security Configuration
—After creating a security configuration (.rss) file
using the SpeedNet KeyGen Utility (see “Generating a Security File” on page 15),
this option allows administrators to upload the security configuration file to the
SpeedNet ME Radio. Click the
Browse
button to locate the security configuration
file, which will have an .rss file extension. Then, click the
Upload
button to insert the
security configuration into the SpeedNet ME Radio. You will be prompted to login
after the security configuration has been applied. Note that after a radio is reset to
factory settings, network configuration and/or setting security configuration are the
only actions allowed for that radio.
•

Net ME Radios within the network must use the same keyset in order to communicate
with each other.
•

—Click the
Use Latest
button to use the keyset with the highest keyset
number. All radios must use the same keyset in order to communicate.
