Admin password

Enter a password of at least
six characters that has a mix
of letters and numerals. The
background colour provides
an indication of password
suitability and is initially red
to indicate that the password
is not sufficient. When a
password with reasonable
strength has been entered it
changes to blue.

Time and Date

Set these correctly as all entries
in the activity log are time
stamped using them.

Encryption

Arrange this setting according
to your security requirements.
See

With every mouse move and keypress, the single dash will move across the

screen (unless the same key is pressed repeatedly). Periodically, a new star
character will be added to the bar as the random data are accepted as part
of the new encryption key. When the bar is full, the final encryption keys
for your LINDY KVM IP will be created – this process takes roughly 30 to 40
seconds.

The default items here are
perfectly adequate for the
majority of modem and ISDN
terminal adapter installations.
The Server IP and Client IP
addresses are used to form
an isolated two-device PPP
network connection via the
dial up link. Their settings are
not related to any other ‘real’
network settings within the
LINDY KVM IP.
