Import Factory Production token

Time Adjust Token

Time Adjust tokens might be required to make sure that the date and time are synchronized correctly between the SPE process and the Security Appliance. A significant time mismatch can cause problems. For example, if the devices go live with a cloud service immediately after provisioning and the provisioning time is wrong, they might be rejected.

A red warning text will tell you if you need a token.

Warns when the time difference between the SPE process and the Security Appliance exceeds this threshold value.

Maintenance Tokens

Some events will force the Security Appliance into maintenance mode. In this mode, all secure keys will have been erased from the Security Appliance, and it cannot provision devices. An alert box will tell you if the appliance is in maintenance mode.

If the Security Appliance is in maintenance mode, contact IAR Systems Technical Support for instructions on recovering the unit. You might be asked to send in a Maintenance token request file or the Technical Support contact might provide a Maintenance token file for you to import.

Generate Maintenance Token request

If requested to by IAR Systems Technical Support, click Save Request to save a Maintenance token request file (.fcr), to send to your Technical Support contact.

Import Maintenance Token

Click Import to navigate to a Maintenance token file (.mat) that you have received from IAR Systems Technical Support. This can recover the Security Appliance from maintenance mode in some situations. Maintenance tokens might also be required to enable some features, for instance Secure Install for some device families.
