A.4 Preparing access via SSH
To access the device through an SSH, follow the steps below:
 Generate a key (SSH Host Key).
 Install the key on the device.
 Enable access through an SSH on the device.
 Install a program that runs the SSH protocol (SSH client) on your
computer.
A.4.1 Generating a key
One way of generating a key is with the PuTTYgen program. This program is
provided on the product-CD.
 Start the program by double-clicking on it.
 In the main program window in the "Parameters" box, select the type
"SSH-1 (RSA)".
 In the "Actions" box, click on "Generate". Move the mouse pointer over the
PuTTYgen-window, so that PuTTYgen can create the key using random
numbers.
 Leave the "Key passphrase" and "Confirm passphrase" input boxes
empty.
 In the "Actions" box, click on "Save private key".
Click "Yes" to answer the question whether you want to save the key
without a passphrase.
 Select the Save location and enter a file name for the key file.
 Note down the key fingerprint, so that you can check it when establishing
a connection.
 You should also store the key in a location separate from the device so
that, if the device is being replaced, the key can be transferred to the new
device.
