1.1	32
11.1	33	=== Key ===
1.1	34
11.1	35	The key of an {{fserver/}} is used to check if the {{mserver/}} is authorized to establish a connection to this {{fserver/}}. After installing the system for the first time, no such key has been set yet. Once a connection could be established successfully, this key will be transmitted to the {{fserver/}} and saved there locally. This process is called impregnation. When another {{mserver/}} attempts to establish a connection to this {{fserver/}}, it will require the key that has been set in this option.
1.1	36
11.1	37	This field will be pre-filled with an automatically generated key when creating a new connection.
1.1	38
11.1	39	Example: {{code language="none"}}65369835-3fc5-45b7-8417-77e24d38db0d{{/code}}

1.1	46
11.1	47	=== Connection attempts ===
1.1	48
11.1	49	The number of times the {{mserver/}} should attempt to establish a connection to the {{fserver/}} until giving up. When this limit has been reached, no more connection attempts are made the connection keeps the status //error//.
1.1	50
11.1	51	Default: {{code language="none"}}5{{/code}}
1.1	52
11.1	53	=== Connection interval (seconds) ===
1.1	54
11.1	55	The interval in seconds between two successive connection attempts from the {{mserver/}} to the {{fserver/}}.
1.1	56
11.1	57	The total time in seconds the {{mserver/}} attempts to establish a connection is therefore the product of the number of //connection attemps// and the //connection interval//.
1.1	58
