Admin password

Enter a password of at least six characters that has a mix of letters and numerals. The background colour provides an indication of password suitability and is initially red to indicate that the password is not sufficient. When a password with reasonable strength has been entered it will change to green.

Time and Date

Set these correctly as all entries in the activity log are time stamped using them.

Encryption

See Encryption settings for a description of the issues and the settings.

Use DHCP/IP address/Net Mask/Gateway

You need to either set the DHCP option to ‘Yes’ or manually enter a valid IP address, Net mask and Gateway. See Networking issues for more details.

Option port (serial) details

These two items control the use of the OPTIONS port on the rear panel of the unit. The port can either be used to control optional power switching devices or can be used to synchronise the operation of two separate AdderView CATxIP 1000 units.

If neither of these features are required, then you do not need to change anything on this screen.

Secure keys generation

With every mouse move and keypress, the single dash will move across the screen (unless the same key is pressed repeatedly). Periodically, a new star character will be added to the bar as the random data are accepted as part of the new encryption key. When the bar is full, the final encryption keys for your AdderView CATxIP 1000 will be created – this process takes roughly 30 to 40 seconds. Once the secure keys have been calculated the AdderView CATxIP 1000 will show either the Login dialog or Select Host screen.



Note: Screen 5 of 5 is displayed while

 

the secure keys are being generated.
