Key Type
Select the key type to be used for the new key. Choices are:
RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
Bit Size
Select the bit length of the new key:
512
768
1024
Using a larger Bit Size takes more time to generate the key.
Approximate times are:
10 seconds for a 512 bit RSA Key
15 seconds for a 768 bit RSA Key
1 minute for a 1024 bit RSA key
30 seconds for a 512 bit DSA key
1 minute for a 768 bit DSA key
2 minutes for a 1024 bit DSA key
Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024
bits long.

SSL Settings
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data
transmission over the Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message
integrity services. SSL is widely used for secure communication to a web server.
Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate
Authority (CA) and downloaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated
private key can be generated by the device server itself.
For more information regarding Certificates and how to obtain them see Obtaining a
Certificate and Private Key on page 138.
To configure the XPort Pro SSL settings:
1. Click SSL from the main menu. The SSL page appears.
