How to Use the AvaLAN Pairing Key Generator

Obtaining the E01 MAC Address

To complete the pairing process, you will need to obtain the E01 MAC address from your AvaLAN IDSU. This can be found on a sticker located inside the device, adjacent to the Cloud ID sticker. Please ensure that you note down this information, as it will be required for the configuration file in Step 4.

Once you have completed this setup process, follow the steps outlined below to remake the IDSU pairing key:

Step 1: Prepare a New USB Device as the Pairing Key

Insert the USB drive into your PC or laptop. This USB will serve as the new pairing key for the AvaLAN IDSU.

Step 2: Pick the USB drive to format and put the key.cfg file on

Step 3: Enter the first 4 characters of the E01 mac address

In the scenario in the picture that would be 2CC8

Step 4: Enter the last 4 characters of the E01 mac address

In the scenario in the picture that would be 60BE

Step 5: Click "Create Pairing Key" to create the key

Step 6: Complete the Pairing Process

Eject the USB device from the PC/Laptop and use the USB to pair the IDSU to the AP. If you are unsure how to pair the IDSU to the AP,  follow the instructions in the "IDSU Pairing Process" knowledge base article.
