AdderView CATxIP Secure Keys

Random data is required to generate encryption keys forsecure VNC access Please move the mouse or press keys until the bar becomes full

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 CATx IP will be created – this process takes roughly 30 to 40 seconds. Once the secure keys have been calculated the AdderView CATx IP will show the IP configuration menu.
