Echelon i.LON 100 e2 Internet Server - Manual (Page 82)

7-6 Configuring the i.LON 100 Internet Server as an RNI
When you have configured the fields on the Address/Port tab, click the
Authentication tab. This opens the tab shown in the following figure:
8. You can choose to authenticate connections to this i.LON 100 using a
specified MD5 authentication key or an MD5 authentication key that is
derived from a specified text secret phrase using an algorithm configured into
the i.LON 100. Using an MD5 authentication key or text secret phrase
prevents the LNS Server and the i.LON 100 from responding to unauthorized
messages during an xDriver session.
NOTE: This authentication key is not the same as the authentication key
used within the L ON W ORKS network.
To set an MD5 authentication key, click the Use MD5 Key button., and
enter the authentication key as a 32-character hexadecimal string
representing a 128-bit MD5 key. Enter the 32 characters in colon-separated
pairs. For example:
A9:04:87:49:F4:BF:89:59:03:10:C5:47:BD:45:94:D7
This must match the MD5 authentication key configured into the i.LON 100
server. Setting the authentication key to all zeros here will cause xDriver to
use the pre-defined, default factory authentication key for the i.LON 100
server. For security reasons, it is not recommended that you use the default
authentication key for the i.LON 100 server.
To use the text secret phrase, click the Use Secret Phrase button and enter
a text secret phrase. This phrase is a string 16-63 characters long, and must
exactly match the text secret phrase used by the i.LON 100 server.
When you have finished, click OK to save the settings for the i.LON 100
server into the Windows registry and return to the L
ON W ORKS Interfaces
window. The new i.LON 100 server will appear in the list of network
interfaces below the Default Profile. Or, click Apply to save all changes and
continue editing the i.LON 100 server’s settings.
