Chapter 5 Parameters and Defaults Parameters for Configuration Method and Encryption Range Maximum number of characters: 8 Default 0 Voice Configuration Menu Access Code 320 Related Parameters • UseTFTP, page 5-4 • TftpURL, page 5-5 • EncryptKeyEx, page 5-7 EncryptKeyEx Description This parameter specifies an encryption key that is stronger than the key specified with the EncryptKey parameter. This stronger key is used to encrypt the Cisco ATA configuration file on the TFTP server. Note Cisco recommends using the EncrpytKeyEx parameter instead of the EncryptKey parameter for the strongest possible encryption of the Cisco ATA configuration file. When the EncryptKeyEx parameter is set to a non-zero value, the Cisco ATA uses this value as the encryption key and ignores any value that has been set for the EncryptKey parameter. The cfgfmt tool, which is used to create a Cisco ATA binary configuration file (see the "Using Encryption With the cfgfmt Tool" section on page 3-12), automatically encrypts the binary file using the stronger rc4 encryption algorithm. When EncryptKeyEx is used for encryption, the Cisco ATA searches for the configuration file with the format ata.x. on the TFTP server. If the value of the EncryptKeyEx parameter is 0, then the Cisco ATA uses the value of the EncryptKey parameter for encryption. Note The cfgfmt tool (version 2.3) program generate an ata.x file in addition to an ata file if the EncryptKeyEx parameter is specified. You should place both such configuration files on the TFTP server. For examples on how to upgrade from the EncryptKey parameter to the stronger encryption method that uses the EncryptKeyEx parameter, see the "Examples of Upgrading to Stronger Encryption Key" section on page 3-15.
