• HEX Enter 16 bytes (eight, 16-bit HEX values). You can
omit zeroes and use colons, similar to the IPv6 format.
The default is:
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
Note: The airFiber Configuration Interface
supports IPv6 formats excluding dotted quad and
"::" (double-colon) notation.

Using 128-bit, SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1), the
airFiber AF-5X hashes the ASCII key to create a 128-bit
key for AES.
