The Pair Key is generated by the Group\u2019s Leader and shared with each Sub-Leader and Participant. When Sub-Leaders add new Transceivers to a Group, they pass the Leader\u2019s Pair key to these new group members. Its always on and fully automatic &#8211; you can choose the level of security to suit your application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configuring Security with ListenTALK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ListenTALK Pair Key security may be configured with the ListenTALK Software Suite or through the Leader\u2019s New Pair Key menu choices as described next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Never \u2013 Normal Security (Default)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By this (default) choice the Pair Key never changes within a Group. This enables secure communication within a Group while allowing unrestricted Group expansion and is a good choice for venues like museums where the number of Participants may vary from tour to tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">8 Hours, 4 Hours or 1 Hour \u2013 High Security<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By this choice, the existing Pair Key is maintained when expanding a Group within the chosen time window. After the time window expires, the Leader will generate a new Pair Key when it Pairs with a Sub-Leader or Participant making them part of a new Group. This enables expansion of an existing Group but only within the chosen time window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Always \u2013 Highest Security<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By this choice, the Leader will always generate a new Pair Key when it Pairs with a Sub-Leader or Participant making them part of a new Group. This disables the expansion of an existing group and is a good choice for high-security venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resetting a Group\u2019s Pair Key<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to reset a Group\u2019s Pair Key without changing the Group Name. This may be useful when a unit is misplaced and you want to exclude that unit from the Group thereby preventing it from listening to or taking part in conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reset the Pair Key for a ListenTALK Group, place the Leader, Sub-Leader(s) and Participants into their respective Docking Station pockets. Then, press and hold the Docking Station Pairing Button for five seconds. The Paring and Status Indicators will flash momentarily and then turn solid indicating success. The ListenTALK Software Suite can also implement this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reset the Pair Key for a ListenTALK Group without a Docking Station, set the Leader\u2019s New Pair Key menu choice to \u201cAlways\u201d. Then, repeat the Near Field Communication pairing operation for all units in a Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the Docking Station and Software Suite can force a New Pair Key without regard to the Leader\u2019s New Pair Key menu choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Listentalk-docking-image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Listentalk-docking-image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Listentalk-docking-image.png 796w, https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Listentalk-docking-image-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Listentalk-docking-image-768x466.png 768w, https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Listentalk-docking-image-600x364.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourguide-systems.co.uk\/listentalk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/listentalk-1.png\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is listentalk-1.png\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Read about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tourguide-systems.co.uk\/listentalk\" target=\"_blank\">ListenTALK<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ListenTALK understands that your security matters, so each of their tourguide devices is equipped with a multi-layer security protocol, consisting of a 4-bit (PIN-free) group subscription, 32-bit authentication and a 64-bit encryption scheme assuring secure conversations.&nbsp; Conversations within a ListenTALK&#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/secure-tourguide-systems-for-corporate-workplaces-listentalk\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1350,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78,1],"tags":[59,100],"class_list":["post-94","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-applications","category-tourguide-systems","tag-listentalk","tag-tour-guide-system"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1351,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94\/revisions\/1351"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourguide-systems.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
