| [Note] | |
| - | You can use this function if you have installed HULFT10 for Linux/AIX-Enterprise. |
| - | For versions lower than HULFT-HUB Server Ver.3.9, if the client is HULFT Ver.8.4 or higher and the Forced Strong Key Mode is set to 'Enabled' in the System Environment Settings, connection with the client is not supported. Therefore, it is not possible to view, update, or newly register the management information for that client. |
