Confirmation of Crypto When Resetting UDX Back to Factory Default

As a UDX user, we have been testing going back to the factory default (ie no UDX). Given this action resets the Master Keys it would be useful to have the Crypto number being reset in the confirmation screen.

So you can go through:

  • Select a Processor
  • Configuration
  • Crypto Configuration
  • UDX Configuration
  • Select a Crypto to perform the action on
  • Select Reset to Default
  • The next screen is an "are you sure" panel but it does not include the Crypto number.

Can this be changed so that the Crypto number is included on that screen given it will reset the Master Keys, etc. It would be useful to know its selected the correct Crypto. The next panel is it actioning the reset which includes the Crypto number but its too late then if its selected the wrong one.

A screen shot of the confirmation screen is attached. In this case it was Crypto 04 being reset but it doesnt show that.

    This information will only be available in the dual control panels, that is the strategy going forward. Let me know if you would like to have a meeting to discuss the strategy.

    Dual control for crypto is in plan for future release and will provide this information. Will the use of dual control be sufficient?
