This message is displayed if an MC5-IP unit, that your viewer has
previously visited, has had a change of security keys. This is not
uncommon if a unit is reset for some reason. However, it could also
mean that your trusted unit is being spoofed and you may not be
connecting to the system that you think you are.
Do not click the Yes button until you have checked with your
administrator that the trusted MC5-IP unit has been recently reset for
some reason.
