SERVSWITCH CX Secure Keys
Random data is required to generate encryption keys for secure VNC access.
4Please move the mouse or press keys until the bar becomes full.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – 
Screen 4 of 5
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.
VNC and HTTP ports
These should remain set to 5900 and 80, respectively, unless they clash with an existing setup within the network. See Networking issues for more details.
Modem/ISDN port details
The default items here are perfectly adequate for the majority of modem and ISDN terminal adapter installations.
The Server IP and Client IP addresses are used to form an isolated
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 ServSwitch CX with IP will be created – this process takes roughly 30 to 40 seconds. Once the secure keys have been calculated the ServSwitch CX with IP will show the IP configuration menu.
