Figure 16. Change Access ID/Key Window
If the button is disabled, check to ensure that you are communicating with the BreadCrumb device via its Ethernet
interface.
You must know the current Key in order to set a new one. The default Key on a BreadCrumb device is
‘0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000’ (64 zeros).
You must supply the new Key twice in order to prevent the inadvertent setting of an unknown Key.
Important: The Key change in a BreadCrumb device has an immediate effect. Changing the Key on a
BreadCrumb device that is meshed with other BreadCrumb devices will cause it to stop communicating with
those devices until their Keys are also updated to match.
3.7.6 ENABLING/DISABLING OpenSSL AES-256 ENCRYPTION
AES-256 encryption is enabled and disabled on a BreadCrumb device using a checkbox on the General tab of the
BreadCrumb Properties window. Unlike the Key, this setting maybe changed when communicating wirelessly
with the BreadCrumb device.
Important: Enabling and disabling encryption in a BreadCrumb device has an immediate effect. Changing this
setting on a BreadCrumb device that is meshed with other BreadCrumb devices will cause it to stop
communicating with those devices until their Keys are also updated to match.
3.7.7 ENCRYPTING WIRED TRAFFIC
When encryption is enabled, all Ethernet-originated or Ethernet-destined traffic passing through the BCWN is
automatically encrypted and decrypted as necessary, regardless of the Ethernet-connected BreadCrumb device’s
bridge or gateway setting.
3.7.8 ZEROIZING THE KEY
The BreadCrumb Key and other settings can be erased remotely or with physical access to the BreadCrumb
device by following the steps in the Section called Restoring Default Settings (Factory Reset) in Chapter 5.
3.7.9.1 SecNET11 KEY FILLING
The SecNet11 Plus PC cards included in SecNet11-enabled BreadCrumb devices are user-accessible and
do not impose any changes up on existing SecNet11 key fill procedures.
