Corinex AV200 CableLAN Adapter

The following picture shows an example of two AV200 networks with different
Network Identifiers:
Communication between adapters (called modems in this picture) is encrypted with
a Triple-DES algorithm. The Encryption Key can be set to any string of letters and
numbers (Encryption Key field, ASCII or HEX). Saving an empty string (leaving it
blank) disables the encryption. After selecting ASCII or HEX and then entering a
password, click “OK” to confirm your choice.
Note: The encryption will be enabled only if a non-empty Network Identifier
is set.
Note: If ASCII is selected, the Encryption Key string can have up to 24
non-standard ASCII characters. Quote and double-quote characters are not
supported. Extended ASCII characters are not supported.
On the other hand, if HEX mode is selected, the Encryption Key string can
have up to 42 hexadecimal digits (for example 34AE4F54B38D). HEX strings
generate stronger keys.
