76 DSR1021/1022 Switch Installer/User Guide
If the server running DSView 3 software cannot contact the DSR1021/1022 switch to add the
certificate, an error message displays and the DSR1021/1022 switch is not added to the database.
Secure Mode
The DSR1021/1022 switch operates in one of two modes: Security disabled or Security enabled.
• In Security disabled mode, the DSR1021/1022 switch allows any server running DSView 3
software to communicate with it.
• In Security enabled mode, an initial server running DSView 3 software can download a
certificate to the switch. If that server is part of a system that replicates certificates, it passes
the certificate to the other servers in that certificate replication system. Thereafter, all servers
in that system will be allowed to access the DSR1021/1022 switch. All servers that are not part
of that system will be locked out.
When the DSR1021/1022 switch is removed from the DSView 3 software database, the certificate
is removed from the DSR1021/1022 switch. This enables you to move the DSR1021/1022 switch
from one certificate replication system to another. You can also remove the certificate by using the
Console menu accessed via the SETUP port on the DSR1021/1022 switch. See the
Reset Certificates section on page 75 for instructions.
See the DSView Installer/User Guide for more information on software security.

Technical Support. When you are finished viewing the messages, press any key to exit this mode.
Restore Factory Defaults
This menu option restores all switch options to the default settings.
Reset Appliance
You can execute a soft reset of the DSR1021/1022 switch with this menu option.
Exit
This menu selection returns you to the ready prompt. If the Console menu interface password is
enabled, you must exit the Console Main menu so that the next user will be prompted with the
Username and Password login screen.
