EncrypTight User Guide

Changes to the local ETKMS configuration or EncrypTight software may necessitate changes to the batch 
file, as described in 

. 

Prior to configuring the batch file do the following:
1 Add a ETKMS LM in ETEMS (see 

). 

2 Launch the local ETKMS (Tools > Launch ETKMS LM). Successfully launching the local ETKMS 

demonstrates that the IP address is configured correctly and that there are no conflicting services 
running on the management station. 

After launching the local ETKMS, configure the batch file to start the ETKMS automatically.

To configure the batch file:
1 Open  the 

start.bat

 file in a text editor and modify the variables described in 

2 Save the file and copy it to the 

\Programs\Startup

 folder for the management PC user. A typical 

path might be something like this: 

C:\Documents and Settings\username.domainname\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

.

The next time that you log in to the management PC, the ETKMS software will start and open a 
command line window.

The minimum required steps to configure an external ETKMS include configuring the network
