3.)

Type ‘sshkeys’ and press [ENTER]. The public/private key pairs will be generated,

a process that may take up to five minutes. Throughout the generation, the user will be

prompted to enter passphrases for the key generation. These passphrases would be supplied

by a system administrator of the server that the unit will be connecting to, or, if they are not

used, the user can simply hit [ENTER] to randomly generate the phrase.

4.)

Once the generation of the SSH keys is complete, reboot the Triton.

*NOTE: The sshkeys script can also be run from a SSH or TELNET session connected to the

device, or from the Linux console running on the RS-232 port, if enabled.
