Before you can use credentials of up to 240 bits with your Mercury controllers, you
must enable support for long credentials on your Synergis™ unit.

connected to your network.
- The Mercury controllers that you want to use long credential support with are
running firmware version 1.29.1 or later.

Mercury, you must manually enable them.
