16.1.2 Encryption Mode and Key
Entering the license keys only does not initialize AES link encryption. Link encryption can only
be enabled via the Configuration or Installation Wizard pages. Motorola recommends that the
Configuration page Figure 135 be used to configure AES link encryption.
Figure 135 – AES Configuration Data Entry Page
Motorola recommends the following process for entering AES link encryption configuration:-
1. Open two browsers, one for each end of the link
2. Navigate to the ‘Configuration’ data entry page for each end of the link
3. At both ends of the link select the ‘AES (Rijndael)’ Encryption Algorithm required.
4. At both ends of the link enter ether an 128-bit or 256-bit encryption key. Note the key
consists of 32/64 case insensitive hexadecimal characters. The same Key must be
entered at both ends of the link. Failure to enter the same key will cause the link to fail.
5. Submit configuration on both ends of the link, but do not reboot.
