KVM encryption - Controls the encrypting of the RFB protocol, used by the Remote Console to transmit the screen data to the administrator machine and keyboard and mouse data back to the host.
Off - No encrypting used.
Try - Tries to make an encrypted connection. If unsuccessful, an unencrypted connection is used.
Force - Tries to make an encrypted connection.
SSL Certificate Management
Smart 16 IP uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol for any encrypted network traffic between itself and a connected client. When connecting, Smart 16 IP reveals its identity to a client using a cryptographic certificate. This is the same for all Smart 16 IPs and won't match the network configurations applied to the card by its user. The certificate's underlying secret key is also used for securing the SSL handshake. Hence, this is a security risk (but better than no encryption at all).
You can generate and install a new certificate unique to a particular card. Smart
16 IP can generate a new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing Request that needs to be certified by a certification authority (CA). A CA verifies you are who you claim to be and signs and issues a SSL certificate to you.
