EncryptKeyEx
Description
This parameter specifies an encryption key that is stronger than the key specified with the EncryptKey
parameter. This stronger key is used to encrypt the Cisco ATA configuration file on the TFTP server.
Note
Cisco recommends using the EncrpytKeyEx parameter instead of the EncryptKey parameter for the
strongest possible encryption of the Cisco ATA configuration file.
When the EncryptKeyEx parameter is set to a non-zero value, the Cisco ATA uses this value as the
encryption key and ignores any value that has been set for the EncryptKey parameter. The cfgfmt tool,
which is used to create a Cisco ATA binary configuration file (see the
Tool" section on page
algorithm.
When EncryptKeyEx is used for encryption, the Cisco ATA searches for the configuration file with the
format ata<macaddress>.x. on the TFTP server.
If the value of the EncryptKeyEx parameter is 0, then the Cisco ATA uses the value of the EncryptKey
parameter for encryption.
The cfgfmt tool (version 2.3) program generate an ata<macaddress>.x file in addition to an
Note
ata<macaddress> file if the EncryptKeyEx parameter is specified. You should place both such
configuration files on the TFTP server.

uses the EncryptKeyEx parameter, see the
