What is it?
Controller Data at Rest is encryption inside the Controller. When enabled, data that is stored is encrypted.
How do you enable the encryption?
1. Login to the controllers webpage
2. Check the checkbox on the Security Options webpage. Note: If a configuration is already in the controller the configuration will be deleted and a new one will have to be sent down.
3. Apply Settings and Reboot
Things to Note:
1. Firmware upgrades will keep encryption intact
2. If you want to disable encryption the only way to do this is to bulk erase the controller.
Note it is possible that the provisioned certificate will be removed during this process. Should this occur the OEM partner will need to contact Mercury to have a replacement certificate issued.
3. When enabling encryption, if the configuration is already present in the controller the configuration will be deleted.
