Identities
This feature helps your VNC viewer to confirm that a revisited CPU IP is genuine and not another device masquerading as a CPU IP. The list given will retain the identities of all visited CPU IP units (that have full security enabled).
When you first make a secure connection to the CPU IP, the security information for that CPU IP unit is cached within this Identity tab (i.e. the CPU IP’s “identity” is known). The next time that you connect to the CPU IP, its identity is checked against the stored version.
If a mismatch is found between the current and the stored identities then a warning will be issued to you.
If an existing CPU IP is fully reconfigured then it will need to issued with a new identity. In this case the previous identity, listed in this tab, should be removed so that a new identity can be created on the next connection.
