When remote management is enabled, a Management SA is automatically generated.
The Management SA uses Manual Keying to set up a VPN tunnel between the SonicWALL
and the VPN client. The Management SA also defines Inbound and Outbound
Security Parameter Indices (SPIs) which match the last eight digits of the SonicWALL
serial number. The preset SPIs are displayed in the Security Association Information
section. It is not necessary to configure a VPN connection for Remote Management as
the Management SA is automatically configured in this section.

example of a valid encryption key is 1234567890A-BCDEF. Or you can use the
randomly generated key that appears in the Encryption Key field.
