User Menu Options

Once successfully logged into the base station or beltpack you will be presented with the following screen:

3.Enter new encryption key

The user must change the encryption key if this option is selected. Since a base station acts only as a relay for the audio packets it is not necessary to change its encryption key.

1.When “3” is selected the phrase, “Enter new encryption key” appears.

2.Now enter the new encryption key. The maximum length is 80 characters. Any combination of letters/numbers/punctuation may be used. Even a sentence such as, “My system is the best in the studio”, may be used as the key. The key is upper and lower case sensitive.

NOTE: A character is letters, numbers, punctuation, spaces, etc.

NOTE: The “backspace” keyboard button may not work on all computers using Telnet, use the delete button instead if this is the case.

CAUTION: Write down the key or use one that you can remember, because ALL beltpacks must have the same key entered in order for communication.

3.Press <ENTER> after the key is typed. This will place the key in the software. Reboot the beltpack for the new encryption key to take effect.

4.Exit

This exits the login and closes the connection to the base station or beltpack.
