User account passwords, if you enable User Authentication

 

 

For instructions on how to change the passwords, see the documentation for each component.

Managing Licenses

The use and functionality of EncrypTight components are controlled through licenses. How the licenses work and the features available depend on the component.

NOTE

Licenses are required for ETEPs with software version 1.6 and later. Previous versions of ETEP software do not require licenses.

A license is required for EncrypTight 1.9 and later. Previous versions of the EncrypTight software do not require a license.

Each ETEP is capable of transmitting traffic at a range of speeds that varies by model. Licenses control the throughput speed. This allows you to upgrade your existing ETEPs to transmit traffic at higher speeds as your network grows and your needs change. Table 13 lists the available speeds for each ETEP model. You can specify the throughput speed of the ETEP on the Interfaces tab in the appliance editor.

Table 13

ETEP Throughput Speeds

 

 

 

Model

 

Available Throughput

ET0010A

 

3, 6, 10, 25, 50 Mbps

ET0100A

 

100, 155, 250 Mbps

ET1000A

 

500, 650 Mbps, 1 Gbps

 

 

 

You need to install a license on each ETEP that you use. Licenses are linked to the serial number of the ETEP on which they are installed. You cannot install a license intended for one ETEP on a different ETEP.
