Identities
This feature helps your VNC viewer to confirm that a revisited AdderLink IP is genuine and not another device masquerading as an AdderLink IP. The list given will retain the identities of all visited AdderLink IP units (that have full security enabled).
When you first make a secure connection to the AdderLink IP, the security information for that AdderLink IP unit is cached within this Identity tab (i.e. the AdderLink IP’s “identity” is known). The next time that you connect to the AdderLink 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 AdderLink 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.
