To configure AES encryption on the Micro125:

Enable Encryption (N) Y Key length in bits (0): 128 Change Keys (N) Y

Enter Keys: **-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-

1.When prompted to enable encryption, select Y.

2.When prompted, enter the encryption key length. The Micro125 supports 128-, 192-, and 256-bit encryption key lengths.

3.When prompted to change keys, select Y.

4.At the Enter Keys prompt, enter your encryption key. The encryption keys are entered in hexadecimal. The hexadecimal values are echoed as asterisks to prevent onlookers from seeing the key. Hexadecimal values are 0-9 and A-F.

For a 128-bit key length, enter 32 hexadecimal characters.

For a 192-bit key length, enter 48 hexadecimal characters.

For a 256-bit key length, enter 64 hexadecimal characters

5.Continue pressing Enter until you return to the Change Setup menu.

Encryption only applies to the port selected for data tunneling (default 10001), regardless of whether you are using TCP or UDP.

Generally, one of these situations applies:

Encrypted Micro125-to-Micro125 communication. Be sure to configure both Micro125 devices with the same encryption key.

Third-party application to Micro125-encrypted communication: Micro125 uses standard AES encryption protocols. To communicate successfully, products and applications on the peer side must use the same protocols and the same encryption key as the Micro125.

Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector provides an encrypted connection from Windows- based applications to the Micro125. Information about SCPR is available on our web site, www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/scpr.A 30-day trial version of SCPR is available.

Enable Enhanced Password

This setting defaults to the N (No) option, which allows you to set a 4-character password that protects Setup Mode by means of Telnet and web pages. The Y (Yes) option allows you to set an extended security password of 16-characters for protecting Telnet and Web Page access.
