INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

STEP 6: SET AND SAVE SECURITY SETTINGS

A node will not function properly unless it has a valid key. If the “Security” tab in the

Web Management Interface is blinking red, then a proper key has not been set. All

nodes in a network must use the same Crypto Mode AND Key in order to

communicate.

1. Select the “Security” tab in the Web Management Interface.

2. Select a Crypto Mode to match your network requirements.

3. Once the Crypto Mode is set, enter a key value into the ﬁeld and click “Set” or

click “Generate” to generate a random key. The new key information is stored

to the node or the network based on the setting in the “Update” menu.

For more information on Security information and selecting Crypto Mode options,

refer to the “Security” section.

The key will NOT be stored in the conﬁguration ﬁle. The key must be stored sepa-

rately.

1. Click the “Display Key” button.

2. Select OK on the warning to open the key. Since the key is displayed in plain-

text, only open the key in a secure environment.

3. Copy the key to a text ﬁle in a secure place on your management computer.
