Changing the Link Password

WinLink1000 Radio Link is encrypted using Advanced Encryption

System (AES) using a 128 bit dynamic key. During the installation

process a Link Password must be set. An Initial encryption key is

generated. Each time a link is established the Encryption key is

validated. If the validation failed the link is established but no service

or configuration is allowed. In this state the user can change the link

password of each of the sites.

To change the Link Password:

1. From the Configuration dialog box, select the Security tab

2. Click Change next to the Link Password field box.

The Change Link Password dialog box appears.

obtained from customer support after validation of the device serial

both sides of the link at any time using the Link Configuration Wizard.
