Visible FIPS mode indicators

When using Workbench or when connecting to a FIPS station or platform there are visible indicators if operating in FIPS mode.

FIPS mode indicators include the presence of either this blue shield () added as a badge on certain icons, or the text “FIPS Mode”, or some combination of the two. For example:

When using Workbench the application window Title Bar shows both the FIPS badge on the application icon () and the text: “(FIPS Mode)”.
When connecting to a FIPS station or platform the FIPS badge is added on the fox/platform icon () indicating that it is a FIPS station/platform.
When connected to a station or platform, the Session Info view includes a FIPS Mode section which shows that it is running in FIPS Mode. You access this view by right-clicking on the station/platform icon and selecting Session Info:
NOTE: If the station/platform is not in FIPS mode, there will be nothing FIPS related in the Session Info window.
