8.2.2 Redline 64-bit Encryption (PTP Only)
Redline proprietary 64-bit wireless encryption is a standard on all AN-80i PTP systems.
Out-of-Box Operation
The AN-80i provides out-of-box wireless encryption using the Redline proprietary
encryption scheme based on private-key proprietary algorithms. This encryption method
is also compatible with AN-50e equipment. Identical encryption settings must be used on
both communicating wireless systems.
Enabling Redline 64-bit Encryption
Use the following steps to enable 64-bit encryption on the AN-80i:
1. Enter the MAC address of the remote AN-80i (or AN-50e) unit.
Web: Configuration screen -> Ethernet Configuration: Peer MAC
2. Choose the same 64-bit encryption setting on both systems (80i/80i or 80i/50e). A
data link can be established only
between systems with identical security settings.
Web: Configuration screen -> Wireless Security Configuration: Encryption Type
3.
Save the configuration to activate changes.
Example
Enable 64-bit encryption. Remote AN-80i has MAC address 00 09 02 01 C1 9A.
192.168.25.2# set peermac 00 09 02 01 C1 9A

8.2.3 AES Encryption
AES 128 bit wireless encryption is a standard feature on all AN-80i systems. AES 256-
bit wireless encryption is an optional feature that may be purchased separately.
Out of Box Operation
AES encryption is not
supported out of box. Each AN-80i system to use AES encryption
must meet the following requirements:
1. AN-80i software with FIPS support is loaded and operational .
2. AES 128-bit:
An options key enabled for AES 128-bit operation must be obtained, loaded on the
AN-80i, and be the currently active options key. The AES 128-bit feature is a
standard (no charge) for AN-80i systems.
3. AES 256-bit:
An options key enabled for AES 256-bit operation must be purchased
, loaded on the
AN-80i, and be the currently active options key. AES 256-bit operation is a
chargeable upgrade for systems.
Enabling AES
Use the following steps to setup and enable AES encryption:
1. Obtain an AES-enabled upgrade options key for all communicating AN-80i systems.
2. Copy each new options key to the AN-80i with the matching MAC address.
Refer to section 5.4: Product Options Screen on page 77 .
3. Select the new key in the Active Options Key field and click Activate to immediately
enable the AES feature.
