Provide the keys.install File (If Necessary)Use this procedure only if you selected one of the customer-provided keys options in the previous
procedure.
If encryption between the NTS and S8300 Media Server is to be used for additional security, you must
provide a keys.install file that specifies for each key:
•The key number
•The encryption type
•The key code
If the keys file is short, the network administrator can create one now during configuration if needed:
Create the key file
1On a directly connected laptop or other computer, create a flat-text file named keys.install with
the correct keys information using any ASCII application.
2Next, upload the keys.install file using the Upload Files to Server screen as described earlier.
3When finished, click on the Configure Server wizard window to resume server configuration.
The keys file can be loaded in one of the following ways.
Upload the keys file
If a keys.install file was previously created on or downloaded to the services laptop or another computer
on the network, it can be installed now as follows.
1In the main menu under Miscellaneous, click the Upload Files to Server link.
2Locate the keys.install file on your computer or network, then click Load File. The file is
uploaded to the media server’s FTP directory.
3When finished, click on the Configure Server wizard window to resume server configuration.
Download or copy the keys file
Longer files may be transferred from the network time server to the S8300 Media Server as follows:
1Using either the Download Files to Server screen or the Transfer files using an FTP procedure to
access the keys file listed on your pre installation worksheet.
In both cases, the file is transferred to the media server’s FTP directory.
2When finished, click on the Configure Server wizard window to resume server configuration.
3After the keys.install file is uploaded, select the location where it resides, usually in the
/var/home/ftp subdirectory. (Services personnel may direct you to use the /tmp directory.)
4If a keys file is not used, or if the correct keys.install file is already installed, select the option to
not install a new keys file.
Set the media server’s time now
1In the main menu under Server, click Set Server Time / Timezone.
The S8300 displays the Set Server Time/Timezone window.
2Set the media server’s time close enough to the NTS’s time, date, and time zone that
synchronization can occur (within about 5 minutes).
