password

Enter the corresponding password of the provided server username.

Note: This field is applicable only for the SCP and FTP server.

Reboot

Select to reboot the Timing Server.

The pull-down menu below the option buttons displays the current software image that’s active. User can also use the pull-down menu to select a different image. This new image will take effect after the system finishes rebooting.

Restore SSL Key

Allows you to download a customized key file of .pem format. The file is downloaded locally without using any protocol. For more information about the dynamic SSL certificate support, see Dynamic SSL Certificate Overview.

• Browse Button—Click to locate the customized key file.

State

Allows you to enable or disable the LCD configuration change functionality.

• Enable—Enables the LCD configuration change functionality. The TCA system displays all menus (Status, Config, Admin, and Help) in the LCD panel.
• Disable—Disables the LCD configuration change functionality. The TCA system does not display the Config and Admin menus in the LCD panel.

By default, the LCD configuration change functionality is enabled.

Note: The status change becomes effective on next reboot.

Caution: If the LCD configuration change functionality is disabled, then you cannot use the hardware mechanism for resetting the passwords of the Admin user and the enable mode. Hence, if you forget the password of the Admin user, you cannot perform any administrator functionalities in the TCA system.
