Getting Started
5. If a key is selected that has not had its key word set, a pop-up box provides the
user definable fields for this key. Select the required key type (Mode-1 or
Mode-E) and enter the New Key value (12 hexadecimal characters for Mode-
1 and 16 hexadecimal characters for Mode-E).
Figure 3.24 Setting BISS Key Value
If a key has already been set, an asterisk is displayed in the drop down list next
to the label. If this key is selected the pop-up box will not appear. The user can
modify the key by selecting the Edit Key box.
Figure 3.25 Editing a BISS Key
Note: Although the BISS technical specification (Tech 3292 rev. 2.) states that
BISS Mode-E shall work with shorter BISS Mode-1 keys, this is not
supported in the unit. The Encrypted Session Word field only accepts 16-
digit keys.
6. When BISS has been enabled on a service a padlock will appear in the outputs
tree next to the service name and in Voyager units the Clear indicators on the
GUI banner and front panel will change to Scrambled.
7. It is possible to select which of the components of the service shall be
scrambled, when a BISS key has been selected. The choice of components can
be done at the service level or independently for each component. At the service
level, in the Service Configuration > Outputs > Service Properties widget,
open the Service > Scrambling accordion and select the components to be
scrambled.
