6.5.2 NEK Configuration
Figure 33 NEK Configuration
You may choose a Network Encryption Key (NEK). Remember to change all the
Modems’ NEKs to match the Gateway.
Use the Remote NEK screen to change the NEK on the Modems and any Hybrid Adapter
Modems in the logical network. Hybrid Adapters must match the NEK of each other, but
should not match the Gateway NEK.
The Hybrid Adapter must be physically connected to the Gateway using the Ethernet
cable to change the NEK via this web page.
Select Apply.
Another method for changing the NEK and name of the hybrid adapter is to use the
Administration Utility provided on the CD that was packaged with each Hybrid Adapter.
To install the administration utility, insert the CD in the CD drive of your computer.
Installation should start automatically. If it does not, select RUN and browse for
setup.exe. Select OK.
A manual for using the administration utility is included with the program.
You must have your computer physically connected to the Hybrid Adapter via an Ethernet
cable to make changes using the administration utility.
Both Hybrid Adapters in a system must have the same NEK. Use an NEK that is not the
same as the one for the rest of the network.
