Dispatch Console comes with a macros-enabled spreadsheet KeyfileGen.xlsm. The spreadsheet is
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola MCC 7100\bin\KeyfileGen.xlsm.
Create Software Keyfiles using Microsoft Excel
KeyfileGen.xlsm can be opened using Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. Macros must be enabled. If
KeyfileGen.xml may be used on a computer other than the MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console where it
was installed, it may be copied to another computer. In this case, the schema file ikmf-app-
file.xsd must be copied with it and placed in the same folder.
The spreadsheet has a sheet for entering up to 500 keys and a sheet for entering two keysets. Enter
the Common Key Reference (Common Key Reference (CKR), Keyset ID, KeyID, Algorithm, and key
data in clear (unencrypted). The spreadsheet enforces ranges of data as follows:
•
CRK from 1 to 4095
• Keysets 1 and 2
• Key ID from 0000 to FFFF (hex values, leading 0s required)
• Encryption Algorithms limited to AES256, DES, ADP
• Key Material length as appropriate for the algorithm
• Odd parity per byte for DES keys
• Total number of keys (500)
NOTICE: Keys generated by the KeyfileGen tool are not encrypted. Use the “Keysets” sheet to
enter keyset names and select which keyset is active.
IMPORTANT: All the features of Microsoft Excel to copy data across keys and keysets are
supported. However, do not delete rows as the number of keys is restricted to 500 and the
number of keysets is exactly two. You can also save the spreadsheet for later use.
If a row on the “Keys” sheet has a blank CKR field, this row is ignored and is not exported to the XML
file.
If ADP keys are used, set their keyset to “1”. ADP keys have no concept of keysets. You may keep
default values in the “Keyset” sheet, unless there are DES and/or AES256 keys, which truly use
keysets.
Export the key file by pressing the Validate and Save button on top of the “Keys” sheet. If the button
cannot be pressed, you may need to enable macros in Excel.
NOTICE: If any of the keys or keysets cannot be validated, the key file is not generated and an
error message is displayed. You can correct the problem and attempt to export the key file
again.
Some of the errors detected during validation are:
•
Invalid parity for DES keys
• Length of key material not matching what the algorithm requires
• Duplicate CKR/Keyset pairs
• Maximum number of ADP keys exceeded
NOTICE: From the Console Dispatch Status application, click KeyStore under the Encryption/
Licensing tab to open the keystorage directory where the keyfiles are stored.
XML files containing keys can also be imported into KeyfileGen.xlsm. To import, open
KeyfileGen.xlsm, right-click on a cell and select XML → Import, then browse to the file. Changes
can be made and export the updated file using Validate and Save.
