Remote PED Setup
The Remote-Capable PED can be used either locally, connected directly to a SafeNet Luna HSM (exactly as for the
standard PED), or remotely when connected to a suitable workstation. The Remote PED must be connected to the
electrical main power supply.
The normal local use of a PED with Remote PED capability is to use it in Local mode to prepare an HSM. This is done
by imprinting an RPV (remote PED vector) onto the HSM and also onto an RPK (the orange Remote PED Key) before
shipping the HSM to its remote location. Then the PED can be switched to Remote PED mode, to serve any HSM that
has an appropriate RPV.
To configure the remote PED:
