Wireless Security - Static WEP (Cont.)

Generate (Passphrase): Pressing the Generate button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you to enter a passphrase and then AUTOMATICALLY generate all four WEP keys which are compatible only among Modero panels.

	• Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key
	generation formula. Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical
	keys when done on any Modero because they all use the same
	Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.
	• Take these WEP keys and enter them into the target WAP. When also
	working with multiple panels, these WEP Keys (identical across all Modero
	panels) must be entered manually into the target WAP.
	• Once all panels have been setup in this way, these WEP keys can then be
	entered into the associated Wireless Access Point for ease of installation.
	• The Passphrase generator is unique to Modero panels. The Key generator
	on these Modero panels are specific and do not generate the same keys as
	other external non-AMX wireless devices.
	- Example: If you enter the word apple into the Passphrase generator on a
	3rd-party Wireless Access Point, it comes back with 1a:2b:3c:4d:etc.
	Entering the same apple in the Passphrase generator of any
	Modero panel generates a different key: a1:b2:c3:d4:etc.
	Only AMX Modero panels generate the same Current Key by using
	a unique Passphrase key generation technology.
	A Current Key string, when generated anywhere else, will not match
	those created on the Modero panels.
	Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key
	generation formula. The passphrase generator is case sensitive.
Default Key:	Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers in order to select a
	WEP key to use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the
	corresponding Current Key is displayed. Each of these corresponds to a
	WEP key.
	• This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to
	re-enter that networks’ WEP key.
	• It is also sometimes used to set up a rotating key schedule to provide an
	extra layer of security.
WEP Keys:	This feature provides you with another level of security by selecting a Key
	value. Both ASCII and HEX keys are supported.
	• A single button is available for each WEP key up to a maximum of four
	keys.
	• Pushing any of these buttons brings up an on-screen keyboard. Keys
	should be entered in hexadecimal notation. It is common practice for every
	two characters (representing a single byte) to be separated by a colon.
	• Since both ASCII and HEX keys are supported it is important to note that up
	to four keys can be configured for both.
	- An ASCII key utilizes either 5 or 13 ASCII characters
	- A HEX key utilizes either 10 or 26 Hexidecimal characters
	• Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value.
	• Ex: 01:0A:67:F3:56, although this is not necessary and the key may be
	entered by omitting the colons. A 64-bit key will be 10 characters in length
	while a 128-bit key will be 26 characters in length. The length of the key
	entered determines the level of WEP encryption employed.
	Either 64-bit or 128-bit.
	• 128-bit keys may also be entered and are used if supported by the internal
	wireless card.
