Server IP Address/Name

server.
•
Priority
—Enter the order in which this server is used. Zero is the
highest priority server and is the first server used. If it cannot
establish a session with the high priority server, the device tries the next
highest priority server.
•
Source IP Address

system mode). Select to use either the default device source address or one
of the available device IP addresses for communication with the
server.
•
Key String
—Enter the default key string used for authenticating and
encrypting between the device and the server. This key must
match the key configured on the server.
A key string is used to encrypt communications by using MD5. You can
select the default key on the device, or the key can be entered in Encrypted
or Plaintext form. If you do not have an encrypted key string (from another
device), enter the key string in plaintext mode and click Apply. The
encrypted key string is generated and displayed.
If you enter a key, this overrides the default key string if one has been
defined for the device on the main page.
