Battery Management System

• Display the fingerprint of the SSH host key for SSH versions 1 and 2.
Most SSH clients display the fingerprint at the start of a session.
Compare the fingerprint displayed by the client to the fingerprint that
you recorded from the Web interface or control console of the Battery
Management System.
From a command line interface, such as the command
prompt on Windows operating systems, you can use FTP or
Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer the host key file. You must
transfer the file to location /sec on the Battery Management
System.
If you do not specify a host key file, the Battery Management
System generates an RSA host key of 768 bits, instead of the
1024-bit RSA host key that the Wizard creates. The Battery
Management System can take up to 5 minutes to create
this host key, and SSH is not accessible during that time.
If you are using SSH version 2, expect a noticeable delay
when logging on to the control console of the Battery
Management System. Although the delay is not long, it can
be mistaken for a problem because there is no explanatory
message.
