9.2	33	=== Key ===
1.1	34
9.2	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.
7.1	36
9.2	37	This field will be pre-filled with an automatically generated key when creating a new connection.

9.2	47	=== Connection attempts ===
1.1	48
9.2	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//.
