connection method from the following list clear no authentication anonymous anonymous authentication user use user provided pki certificates server authenticate authenticate server only futurex admin use futurex signed certificates to connect for this example, select futurex admin pki type if using futurex certificates, select rsa or ecc tls ciphers/ tls protocols choose the desired tls ciphers and tls protocols select \[ submit ] your newly added device profile displays under the list of devices and services in the excrypt touch dashboard make the following changes to the device now displayed in the connected devices in the offline column select modify if you'd like to edit the device profile select test to verify the connectivity of the device (must have a valid ip address)

profile and log in use the excrypt touch to remote to your kmes and make the following additional configuration changes to start the kmes series 3 connection profile, touch the arrow next to the device profile the device comes online and shows in the online column when the device is online, you can access the application manager for that device and communicate with the device as needed select \[ go ] in the right column to access the connected device after the application manager loads, log in with the default admin identities create a user role go to the roles menu, and select \[ add ] on

name field this time on the assigned roles tab, select the printers role that you created in the previous section on the user login tab, set a password for the identity select \[ ok ] to finish creating the second new identity synchronize users between the kmes and excrypt touch go to the roles menu and select \[ excrypt touch sync ] when prompted to log in to the local hsm of the excrypt touch, log in with the default admin identities after logging successfully, a message box informs you that tablet users have been synced successfully for further confirmation that users and identities synced successfully, log in to the excrypt touch by using the print1 and print2 identities that you created on the kmes in the previous section
