Provisioning Overview
This section provides an overview of how to provision a Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor on
the DNCS. It also describes how to provision devices that provide data to a Netcrypt
Bulk Encryptor and the devices that receive data from a NOBE.
Why Provision a Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor?
Provisioning a Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor establishes communication between the
DNCS and the bulk encryptor and allows the bulk encryptor to automatically
download software from the DNCS. Without DNCS control, the Netcrypt Bulk
Encryptor is inoperable.
