The SLX-9000 Host ID depends on the presence of a MicroSD card. When tied to the Host ID on an MicroSD card, a license file is portable. All MicroSD cards are programmed with the Tridium secret, which validates the authenticity of the MicroSD card-based Host ID established using Card Identification (CID) values. The CID number is a unique identifier or serial number created on the MicroSD card at the time of manufacturing.
- The controller is plugged into a wall outlet.
- The power is off.
- Insert a MicroSD card into the card slot.
- Power on the controller.
- If no MicroSD card is present, the device uses a CPU-based Host ID. When the MicroSD is present at boot time, the MicroSD card is checked for authenticity using the Tridium secret. The Host ID’s authenticity will be verified. If the MicroSD card fails authentication, the Host ID is considered inva- lid. If the MicroSD card passes authentication, the MicroSD card-based Host ID will be used.
