When the ETEMS configuration differs from the appliance configuration, the appliance status is 

. 

ETEMS provides a side-by-side comparison so you can see how the two configurations differ and 
determine which is correct. After determining the correct configuration, you can either copy settings from 
the appliance to ETEMS or push the ETEMS configuration to the appliance. 

Name

A unique name that identifies an appliance to ETEMS. 

Management IP

The IP address assigned to the appliance’s management port. This is the 

address that ETEMS uses to manage the appliance. 

Remote IP

The IP address assigned to the appliance’s remote port, which connects the 

appliance to an untrusted network. This setting is displayed only for 

appliance models on which the remote IP address is user-configurable.

Last Comm Attempt

Indicates the date and time that ETEMS most recently communicated with 

the appliance, whether to refresh status, perform a compare operation, push 

configurations, or upgrade software. This information persists across ETEMS 

sessions.

Sys Location

The system location is configured on the SNMP tab in the Appliance editor. 

It is an optional configuration item used to describe the location of the 

appliance.

Model

The hardware model of the EncrypTight appliance. 

Software Revision

The software version of the appliance. With a new appliance configuration, 

the software version reflects the two-digit version selected in ETEMS. After 

ETEMS has communicated with the appliance, this field displays the third 

digit of the software version that is running on the appliance, when available.
For example, a new appliance may be added to ETEMS as an ETEP 

running software version 1.4. After ETEMS communicates with the ETEP it 

will display the third digit of the software version, such as 1.4.3. ETEMS 

does not automatically reflect software updates between two digit software 

versions because of differences in the feature sets (1.4 to 1.5, for example). 

For feature update releases, you can update the software version in ETEMS 

using the Multiple Configurations editor.

Date/Time

The appliance’s date and time.
