14.1.2 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 95 be used to configure AES link encryption.

Figure 95 - 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 ‘AES (Rijndael)’ Encryption Algorithm.

4. At both ends of the link enter a 128-bit encryption key. Note the key consists of 32 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.
