DESCRIPTION
This field is applicable when you select an Encryption Algorithm. Enter the
encryption key, which depends on the encryption algorithm.
DES - type a unique key 8-32 characters long
3DES - type a unique key 24-32 characters long
AES128 - type a unique key 16-32 characters long
AES192 - type a unique key 24-32 characters long
AES256 - type a unique key 32 characters long
You can use any alphanumeric characters or ,;|`~!@#$%^&*()_+\{}':./<>=-
".
If you want to enter the key in hexadecimal, type "0x" at the beginning of the
key. For example, "0x0123456789ABCDEF" is in hexadecimal format; in
"0123456789ABCDEF" is in ASCII format. If you use hexadecimal, you must
enter twice as many characters as listed above.
The remote IPSec router must have the same encryption key.
The ISG50 ignores any characters above the minimum number of characters
required by the algorithm. For example, if you enter 1234567890XYZ for a DES
encryption key, the ISG50 only uses 12345678. The ISG50 still stores the
longer key.
Enter the authentication key, which depends on the authentication algorithm.
MD5 - type a unique key 16-20 characters long
SHA1 - type a unique key 20 characters long
You can use any alphanumeric characters or ,;|`~!@#$%^&*()_+\{}':./<>=-
". If you want to enter the key in hexadecimal, type "0x" at the beginning of the
key. For example, "0x0123456789ABCDEF" is in hexadecimal format; in
"0123456789ABCDEF" is in ASCII format. If you use hexadecimal, you must
enter twice as many characters as listed above.
The remote IPSec router must have the same authentication key.
The ISG50 ignores any characters above the minimum number of characters
required by the algorithm. For example, if you enter 12345678901234567890
for a MD5 authentication key, the ISG50 only uses 1234567890123456. The
ISG50 still stores the longer key.
