5. Specify the static key.
The Wireless Edge Services zl Module provides several options for configuring
static keys:
• It can automatically generate four hex keys from a manually entered pass
key.
Enter a string from 4 to 32 characters in the Pass Key field and click the
Generate button.
As shown in Figure 4-31, the Wireless Edge Services zl Module then creates
four different keys, which automatically appear in the Key fields. Note that
these keys are in hexadecimal. Wireless users can enter the keys in this form,
or you can convert the hex number to an ASCII string and tell users that
string.
• You can manually enter up to four hex keys.
• You can manually enter up to four ASCII keys.
If you want to set one or more of the four keys yourself, simply move your
cursor to the field for that key and enter the key. You can enter the key in
hexadecimal (the first field) or in ASCII (the second field). If you want, you
can specify some keys in hexadecimal and others in ASCII. You can also
generate four keys from a pass key, and then change one or more of the keys.
