NOTE: If you are performing a new installation, the installer prompts you to set a system passphrase for en-
cryption purposes, as shown in the following image.
The system passphrase is used to protect sensitive information stored on all WEBs systems, and on the SD
card in JACE-8000 controllers. The system passphrase is assigned as the file passphrase for “portable files,
such as backups and station copies, and is used to encrypt those files. During operations in which you
transfer encrypted files to a system (restoring backups, transferring a station, etc.) you are prompted to sup-
ply the file passphrase, if it doesn’t match the system passphrase. The system passphrase defaults to the
factory default platform password.
