When you enter a Security Key number, the key is written on the SmartSMS (when the
configuration is loaded) and on the PC. This key acts as a general configuration security key.
The access to the configuration of the SMS unit(s) will be blocked when the following two conditions
are true:
1) The configuration file running on the SmartSMS unit(s) can’t be found on the PC.
2) The security key number on the PC is not the same as the one in the SmartSMS unit(s).
Using this method, if the configuration file running on the SMS unit is also on the PC, the user
automatically has access to the unit.
If the security key number on the PC is the same as the one on the SmartSMS unit(s), the user
automatically has access to the unit.
