Erase: click this button to erase the unit’s Key material. Basic unit Configuration will not be lost,
i.e. the unit can still be managed remotely once the unit has re-booted.
The following confirmation dialog will be shown. Click on Yes to continue. The unit will delete
the key material and reboot, this will close any management sessions including dial up
networking connections
Loopback
The loopback facility is a diagnostics test capability that allows either, or both, of the ports to
loop back any signals that are applied.
For example, if the Host port is placed in loopback, then the local signals sent to the
Datacryptor for encryption and onward transmission, are in fact simply returned back to the
Host port. Likewise, if the Network port is placed in loopback mode, any signals received from a
remote unit are looped back out to that remote unit.
An indication of the loopback status of the unit can be obtained from the Loopback LED on the
Front panel. See
The Front Panel LEDs for the details.
These loopback options allow line diagnostic tests to be performed by external test equipment.
The Audit log will record when the host port (Private Loopback) or network port (Public
Loopback) has loopback enabled or disabled.
Note: The Datacryptor 100 Mb Ethernet does not support loopback of either the
Network or Host interface.
Select one or both of the loopback options:
• Network: Select the Network option to create a loopback between the unit and its peer
for troubleshooting purposes.
• Host: The Host option is used to create a loopback between the unit and its local
network.
Loopback functionally is available while the unit is in all encryption modes and all entries and
exits will be entered into the units audit log.
CAUTION: Rebooting the device interrupts the data traffic on the Host and
Network ports.
