airFiber uses 128-bit, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
encryption at all times.
Key Type Specifies the character format.
• HEX By default, this option uses hexadecimal
characters. 0-9, A-F, or a-f are valid characters.
• ASCII ASCII uses the standard English alphabet and
numeric characters (0-9, A-Z, or a-z).
Key Select the format of the MAC address.
• HEX Enter 16 bytes (eight, 16-bit HEX values). You can
omit zeroes and use colons, similar to the IPv6 format.
The default is:
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
Note: The airFiber Configuration Interface
supports IPv6 formats excluding dotted quad and
“::” (double-colon) notation.
• ASCII Enter a combination of alphanumeric characters.
Using 128-bit SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1), the
AF-5X hashes the ASCII key to create a 128-bit key for AES.
