The Motorola PTP 600 Series bridges support link encryption using the NIST approved
Advanced Encryption Standard, HFIPS-197

H. This standard specifies AES (Rijndael) as a
FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government
organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
Link Encryption is not available in the standard PTP 600 Series system. A license key to
enable link encryption can be purchased from your Motorola Point-to-Point Distributor or
Solutions Provider. AES can be activated on receipt of the activation on the Motorola
Systems Support Page .
There are two levels of encryption that are available to purchase:
• 128-bit
• 128 and 256-bit
