If you want to enable 3DES encryption in your network, please select one of the
input methods and enter the password.
Input methods:
ASCII If ASCII is selected, the Encryption Key
string can have up to 24 non-extended
ASCII characters. Quote and double-
quote characters are not supported.
Extended ASCII characters are not
supported.
HEX On the other hand, if HEX mode is
selected, the Encryption Key string can
have up to 42 hexadecimal digits (for
example 34AE4F54B38D). This HEX
method is more secure than ASCII.
3.4.3 Advanced Configuration
The advanced configuration section is divided into several subsections, which are
described here.
3.4.3.1 MAC Configuration
The following parameters relate to the physical network setup, or topology. The
current firmware version (Spirit 2.0.21 at the time of this publication) supports only
one topology: In-Home AV. In this In-Home AV topology, two different adapter
types can be configured, setting an adapter to function as either an Automatic
EP/AP (End Point or Access Point, depending on the other adapters in the network)
or a Fixed AP (assigned Access Point). Section 4 (In-Home AV Network Topology)
contains more information about the available network topologies.
