CHAPTER 10: SECURITY
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
Global Configuration
These setting are common for all of the servers.
Timeout: Timeout is the number of seconds, in the range 1 to 1000, to wait for a reply from a server before it is considered
to be dead.
Deadtime: Deadtime, which can be set to a number between 0 to 1440 minutes, is the period during which the switch will not send
new requests to a server that has failed to respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually trying to contact a
server that it has already determined as dead. Setting the Deadtime to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only if
more than one server has been configured.
Key: The secret key—up to 63 characters long—shared between the server and the switch.
Server Configuration
The table has one row for each server and a number of columns, which are:
Delete: To delete a server entry, check this box. The entry will be deleted during the next Save.
Hostname: The IP address or hostname of the server.
Port: The TCP port to use on the server for authentication.
Timeout: This optional setting overrides the global timeout value. Leaving it blank will use the global timeout value.
Key: This optional setting overrides the global key. Leaving it blank will use the global key.
Buttons

as needed. Up to 5 servers are supported.
