Programming secure keys
Secure keys may be programmmed to the CES or AES encryptor using KMS or KFS.
These programs connect to transceiver via a virtual COM port.
Viewing the COM port setting in VCOM
VCOM provides virtual serial COM ports to enable serial protocols to be used over
other protocols, for example, USB and Ethernet. VCOM operates on Windows® XP,
Vista and 7.
When VCOM launches, it assigns a virtual COM port for use by internal devices in
the Envoy™ Transceiver. This port number must be set up in other programs used for
data communication over HF and secure key programming.
To view the virtual COM port setting:
1 Launch VCOM Configuration from Start > All Programs > Codan >
