Each of the tabs will now be described in turn.
The General Tab
The properties on the General tab control the general behavior of the unit. The image shown
on the General tab will reflect the model of Ethernet Datacryptor that you are using.
Unit Name: read from the unit.
Description: read from the unit.
Change: click this button to set the unit's clock/calendar. (The clock is used to track the time
that Keys are created and to track certificate expirations.) The unit operates internally on UTC
time and the Element Manager attempts to correct, when setting and when displaying, for the
users time zone.
Note: If you set the unit’s clock backwards to a date and time in the past, reboot it to
avoid filling the log files with error messages about the time setting.
