Encryption Key

Encryption and decryption of data between the Omni IIe controller and the connected device is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) using a 128-bit cryptographic key. A unique encryption key is randomly assigned to each Omni IIe controller at the factory (no records of these keys are kept at the factory). It may be left the same (recommended) or it may be changed as desired. To view and assign the encryption key, from the previous Setup item (PORT NUMBER), press the down arrow key (↓).

ENCRYPTION KEY PT 1:

6F-1B-26-A2-FF-D9-E4-12

This key consists of 16 bytes (that is 16 2-digit values from 0-9 and/or the letters A-F). It is entered into the controller in two parts (PT 1 and PT 2) consisting of 8 bytes each. Enter the 2 digit value. To enter the digits A-F, first press the “OFF” key, then press the 0-5 key respectively (i.e. A1 = OFF 0 1 and CB = OFF 2 OFF 1). After the last digit (16th digit) has been entered, press the “#” key to store “PT 1” of the encryption key. Press the down arrow key (↓) to enter “PT 2” of the encryption key.

ENCRYPTION KEY PT 2:

DC-67-48-8F-D1-3A-EF-70↑

After the last digit (16th digit) has been entered, press the “#” key to store “PT 2” of the encryption key.

Set Up Names

The system can be set up to display descriptive names such as "FRONT DOOR", "JOHN'S BEDROOM", or "PORCH LIGHT" for zones, units, buttons, codes, temperatures, areas, and messages. These names are displayed instead of the unit, zone, button, code, temperature, area, and message number that is normally displayed. Zone and Message names may be up to 15 characters long. Each of the other names may be up to 12 characters long.

To enter the Set Up Names menu, from the Setup menu, press the 7 (NAME) key.

SET UP NAME

The 6 (AREA) choice will only be displayed if area arming is being used.

Select the item that you would like to name by pressing one of the keys (1-6, and 8). The current name for the first item (unit, zone, button, code, temperature, area, and message) is then displayed. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of names.

To enter a name, enter the two digit code shown in Appendix B for each character in the name, then press the ' # ' key. Use the up arrow key to delete the most recently entered character.
