Security Encryption
Some applications require that the system be made secure from eavesdropping and hacking.
To provide for these applications, the modem supports AES-128 data encryption.
The modem may be configured to transmit messages with or without encryption, accept
messages without encryption, or to require that received messages are encrypted.
