AMX MVP-8400i manual Generate Passphrase, Encryption key

Setup Pages

WEP Settings (Cont.)

Generate (Passphrase):	This button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you to enter a
	passphrase. The panel then automatically generates four WEP keys
	(compatible only with Modero panels). Enter these WEP keys into the target
	WAP.
	When working with multiple panels, WEP Keys must be entered into the WAP
	for each panel.
	•	All Modero panels use the same code key generator. Therefore, this
		Passphrase generates identical keys on any Modero panel.
	•	The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.
	Note: This Key generator is unique to Modero panels and does not generate
	the same keys as non-AMX wireless devices. For example, a Current Key
	string generated anywhere else will not match those created on Modero
	panels.
Default Key:	Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers to select a WEP key to
	use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the corresponding
	“Current Key” is displayed. Each Current Key corresponds to a WEP key.
	This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to
	reenter 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 another level of security by selecting up to four WEP
	Keys.
	Push any of the four buttons to open an on-screen keyboard. Both ASCII and
	HEX keys are supported. 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.
	Note: 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 (64 or 128-bit). 128-bit keys may be used if
	supported by the internal wireless card.
Current Key:	Displays the current WEP key in use.
	• When working with a single panel and a single WAP, it is recommended
		that you manually enter the Current Key from the WAP into the selected
		WEP Key.
	•	When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, it is
		recommended that you generate a Current Key using the same
		passphrase on all panels and then enter the panel-produced WEP key
		manually into the Wireless Access Point.
	•	Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the
		keyboard initialization text.
	•	Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to erase stored key
		information.
Authentication:
	Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open + WEP (broadcast
	publicly) or Shared + WEP (encrypted).
	•	An Open + WEP network allows connections from any client without
		authentication.
	•	A Shared + WEP network requires the client to submit a key which is
		shared by the network WAP before it is given permission to associate
		with the network. In this case the key is the same as the WEP
		encryption key.
	In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require
	the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the
	network.
Save/Cancel:	•	Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to
		the previous page.
	•	Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.
