6 Configuring TRANSEC
ACC Keys
This chapter describes how to configure the Satellite Router for operation with TRANSEC
transmission security. Perform the procedures in this section only when commissioning the
Satellite Router in a TRANSEC network.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• “Prerequisites” on page29
• “Loading ACC Keys” on page30
6.1 Prerequisites
Before a newly-commissioned remote can acquire a TRANSEC network, the following two
conditions must be met:
• If an X.509 certificate has not yet been issued for the remo
te, then authentication must
be disabled for the remote at the hub, and in the remote options file.
• The current Network Acquisition Ke
ys (ACC Keys) must be resident on the Satellite Router.
6.1.1 Commissioning without an X.509 Certificate
If the Satellite Router is not yet certified for the TRANSEC network, authentication must be
disabled in the options file loaded in the previous chapter. Follow the steps below only if the
remote does not yet have an X.509 certificate:
To Disable Authentication:
1. Verify that the following parameter is
set to 0 in the options file:
auth_level_required = 0
2. If auth_leve
l_required = 1, use a text editor to change it to 0, and save the file.
3. Load the modi
fied options file on the Satellite Router.
4. Coordinate with the Network Op
erator to select Disable Authentication on the iBuilder
Remote Information tab, and to apply the hub-side changes.
Authentication is now disabled on the Satellite Router, and at the hub.
