	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.
