Transmission key
Select the key the CN3000 will use to encrypt transmitted data. All four keys are used to
decrypt received data.

characters between 32 and 126, inclusive, in the key. However, note that not all client

symbols in the key.

Your keys should only include the following digits: 0-9, a-f, A-F
