The "Select a Server" selection makes a list of well-known NTP servers such as the U. S. Naval Observatory Master Clocks in Washington, DC and Colorado Springs, Colorado available. The "Specify server" selection enables you to type the name or IP address of any desired NTP server. NTP sends periodic time requests to the DXi3500/DXi5500 system, obtaining time stamps and using them to adjust the system's clock. Configuring the Security Options 3 To access the Security page: 1 In the Configuration page, click Security. The management frame displays the Security page (see figure 36). Figure 36 Security Configuration Password information SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) information The Security page is divided into two sections: · Passwords · SSL Quantum DXi3500 and DXi5500 User's Guide 67 Chapter 3 DXi3500 and DXi5500 Remote Management Configuration Passwords 3 The DXi3500/DXi5500 system has two levels of security built into the system: Monitor and Administrator. The monitor user is allowed to view the DXi3500/DXi5500 system management pages, but not change them.

SSL SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that provides security and privacy over the Internet by negotiating encryption keys before transmitting data between a client and a server. To establish a secure SSL connection, your DXi3500/DXi5500 system must have an encryption key assigned to it by a Certification Authority in the form of a certificate file, private key file, and pass phrase. Once you install these components, you can establish a secure connection using the SSL protocol. The Quantum DXi3500/DXi5500 system comes with a SSL certificate; however, you can purchase other certificates and add them to the DXi3500/DXi5500 SSL configuration. To access the SSL page: 3 Quantum DXi3500 and DXi5500 User's Guide 68 Chapter 3 DXi3500 and DXi5500 Remote Management Configuration 1 In the Security page, click SSL.
