sensor has a variety of settings that impact its detection sensitivity. The motion sensor can

be enabled or disabled (see Section 6.2.2.1 General Profile Settings).

5.6 Encryption

The SHOUT ns can be configured to encrypt/decrypt all transmitted and received data

using 256-bit AES encryption. To enable encryption, the user needs to assign a cryptographic

administrator for the device who will be responsible for modifying the encryption and

decryption keys and setting the device to use encryption (see Section 6.2.2.3 Additional Setup

Parameters). The 256-bit AES encryption algorithms implemented here comply with NIST

FIPS140-2 (see documents Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, FIPS PUB 140-

2, US Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, May 25

2001 and Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, Annex A: Approved Security

Functions for FIPS PUB 140-2, US Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards

and Technology, February 19

Using the configurable required remote update password, the SHOUT ns can be configured

over the air through the use of remote update option. This allows for remote unattended

trackers to be reconfigured without requiring direct access to the device. All of the tracking

profile parameters and most of the general parameters can be configured via remote updates

(see Section 6.2.2.3 Additional Setup Parameters). NAL Research provides two software

applications that can be used to compose and transmit remote updates: Server for Trackers

and Remote Configure. These programs can be downloaded from the NAL Research's website

(http://www.nalresearch.com/Downloads.html).
