Options Tab

There are several options for tuning your myKryptofon experience.  Most of these are initially in the off position.  You have the option to turn each on, with myKryptofon remembering your last setting.

 

 

 

Force Secure Mode this option has three settings:
  • Always - the pad lock to secure a call, chat or file transfer is always locked, and can not be unlocked.
  • Startup - the pad lock to secure calls is initially locked when myKryptofon starts.  The pad lock to secure a chat or file transfer is initially locked when the chat or file transfer window is opened.  The user can unlock the pad lock if desired.
  • Never - the state of the pad lock for calls when myKryptofon starts, is restored to its the last state when myKryptofon was last shutdown. The pad lock for a chat or file transfer will initially match the state of the call pad lock.
Startup Display When myKryptofon starts, the selected tab will initially be displayed.
Alert Tone When a new chat message or file transfer is received, myKryptofon will play the selected alert tone.
Alert Tone Manager - myKryptofon comes with a large selection of custom alert tones.  You can add new wav files to the list of alert tones, as well as, delete and rename alert tones.  Click this button to open the Alert Tone Manager window . 
Enable bandwidth reduction mode myKryptofon's default network bandwidth setting is tuned to provide you a high quality voice experience.  In specific situations where you have limited data bandwidth, you may choose to decrease the bandwidth consumption.  In reduction mode, myKryptofon will utilize a maximum of between 5.7kbps - 6.2kbps. It will determine silent moments in the conversation, and drive the bandwidth down to near zero. This is useful in wireless situations such as low quality Wi-Fi, wireless telecomm air cards or connection to your computer via your cell phone cable.
Enable "stealth" mode Stealth mode turns off your presence indicator to others in the network.  You will appear offline to other users, yet will still be able to make/receive voice calls, and utilize all other myKryptofon features.
Auto-answer Automatically answer incoming calls after the designated number of seconds.
Enable Login Use of the myKryptofon Login window can be enabled or disabled.  When enabled, every time myKryptofon starts, the Login window is presented.  The correct username and password must be entered in order to proceed.  If disabled, the Login window is not shown, and myKryptofon will proceed without authenticating the user.
Reset Credentials Clicking this button will clear any previously configured user name and password. This button can only be clicked when the Login window is enabled.  After clearing the credentials, restart myKryptofon in order to configured a new user name and password.

  • 8 characters minimum, including
  • 1 upper case alphabetic,
  • 1 lower case alphabetic
  • 1 numeric, and

These requirements will apply to the Login password, and passwords used to export and send keys.
