IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
3. Important Configuration Information
3.1 Support for Two Simultaneous Configurations
As work on configuration 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 configuration
page where configuration changes can be made. If changes are made and you navigate away from the page without saving,
the changes may be discarded.
When you are satisfied that all configuration changes on the UCrypt device 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 configuration as you
complete work on each page. You may
Save
your work as you go and
Apply
the configuration when completed.
3.1.1 Saved Configuration
This can be thought of as a work in progress and any changes can be made in the configuration without affecting how the
UCrypt device is currently working and providing services.
This saved configuration can be discarded at any time without affecting the working UCrypt device configuration or can be
Applied to the UCrypt device, to make it the new working configuration. To discard your configuration changes browse to the
Configuration
tab and click the
Revert
button. The Revert action is not service affecting.
3.1.2 Applied Configuration
This is the working configuration that the UCrypt device 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 configuration is applied.
During configuration, while changes are being made, the saved configuration and the applied configuration differ by the
changes that have been made and saved since last clicking
Apply
. After the Apply button is clicked, the saved configuration
and the applied configuration are identical.
NOTE: Clicking the Apply button will cause a service interruption while the UCrypt device re-
provisions itself with the new working configuration. It is best to make all changes necessary on all
configuration pages and apply the changes when completed.
