3. IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
3.1 Support for Two Simultaneous Confi gurations.
As work on confi guration progresses, changes will need to be made to multiple pages in the Management Interface. As work is
completed on each page, the changes must be saved and there is a
Save
button conveniently located on every confi guration
page where confi guration changes need to be saved. If changes are made and you navigate away from the page without
saving, the changes may be discarded.
When you are satisfi ed that all confi guration changes on the UCrypt are complete and correct, click the
Apply
button located
by the save buttons on any page, they all do the same thing. There is no need to apply the confi guration as you complete work
on each page. You may
Save
your work as you go and
Apply
the confi guration when completed.
3.1.1 Saved Confi guration
This can be thought of as a work in progress and any changes can be made in the confi guration without affecting how the
UCrypt is currently working and providing services.
This saved confi guration can be discarded at any time without affecting the working UCrypt confi guration or can be Applied to
the UCrypt, to make it the new working confi guration. To discard your confi guration changes browse to the
Confi guration
tab
and click the
Revert
button. The Revert action is not service affecting.
3.1.2 Applied Confi guration
This is the working confi guration that the UCrypt is currently using to provide the desired services to the output and regardless
of the changes made in the Management Interface as discussed above, changes do not take effect until the
Apply
button is
clicked and the confi guration is applied.
During confi guration, while changes are being made, the saved confi guration and the applied confi guration differ by the
changes that have been made and saved since last clicking
Apply
. After the Apply button is clicked, the saved confi guration
and the applied confi guration are identical.
NOTE: Clicking the Apply button will cause a service interruption while the UCrypt re-provisions
itself with the new working confi guration. It is best to make all changes necessary on all confi guration
pages and apply the changes when completed..
