13.4.9.3 The Security column
The Security column displays the status of the local security database that is currently active on
the SMP Gateway. It also indicates the status of global security, if enabled for this SMP Gateway.
Here is an explanation of the different values that may be displayed for local security, with a
suggestion of what action to take, if any:
Up to Date.
The security database on the SMP Gateway is the same as the security database that is
currently active on your PC. This is the normal case.
Older (date and time).
You sent a security database to the SMP Gateway, but subsequently modified the local
security settings. Therefore, the security database on the SMP Gateway is older than your
local security database.
To rectify the situation:
Send your local security database to the SMP Gateway (see “Sending the Current
Security Database”, page 98). The Status colu
mn will now display “Local: Up to Date”.
Newer (date and time).
You sent a security database to the SMP Gateway, but someone on another PC subsequently
modified his or her own local security database and sent it to the SMP Gateway.
To rectify the situation:
Contact the person who made the changes.
If you approve:
Retrieve the security database from the SMP Gateway in order to update your own local
security database (see “Retrieving the Security Database of an SMP Gateway”, below).
The Status co
lumn will now display “Local: Up to Date”.
If the modifications should not have been made:
Send your local security database to the SMP Gateway (see “Sending the Current
Security Database”, page 98). The Status colu
mn will now display “Local: Up to Date”.
n/a.
The software installed on the SMP Gateway does not support the security features.
