Turn FIPS On/Off When turned on, FIPS
operation (available only with DES algorithm)
causes the KVL 3000 to operate in a mode that
is compliant with the U.S. Federal Information
Processing Standard (FIPS) 140 1 guidelines.
This mode of operation enforces the use of
passwords and activates tamper protection. If
tampered with (e.g., back cover removed), if the
main battery is dead, if the main battery is
removed while the KVL 3000 is on, or if the main
battery is removed for an extended period of
time (i.e., several minutes), all key information
will be erased. With FIPS operation turned off,
tampering will not cause the key information to
be erased. Turn FIPS operation on as follows:
1. Navigate to the CONFIG menu, then
navigate to and select FIPS. The
following screen will appear:
FIPS MODE
IS OFF.
ON
2. Press to select ON (or OFF) as
desired.
