Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for Mesh Routers 7-5
• Authentication without Encryption: the mesh router will only communicate
with other mesh routers that have the same pass phrase but the traffic will not
be encrypted.
• None: the mesh router will communicate with any other mesh router on the
same channel and IP network without encryption.
A pass phrase is used for authentication in both security modes. Make sure that the
pass phrase is kept in a safe place so it is not lost or stolen.
• Pass Phrase: Enter a pass phrase and confirm it like you would to set a
regular password. (Pass Phrases have a minimum of 8 characters and a
maximum of 32 characters.)
• Confirm: Enter the pass phrase again to ensure it is correct.
If there is no pass phrase set for the system the button will read "Change (Currently Not
Set)". If a pass phrase has been set, the button will read "Change (Currently Set)".
