Adtec RD-71, User Manual

Page: 78 / 118

Adtec products provide flexible web authentication and security features so they may
thrive in unique and dynamic broadcast environments. Adtec has recently added ‘ADVANCED’
UI authentication to allow administrators without external control systems provide unique
read/write Web UI capabilities for each individual web operator. Web UI authentication can also
be turned completely OFF in environments where password security is not required.
Adtec products also offer capability to change the listening web port to prevent external
port 80 attacks, turn off management from the IP2 port and add a ‘STEALTHIP’ or safe list of
allowed IP addresses to access web/ftp/telnet services.
This document will describe Web UI authentication behaviors and the available security
features.
Web UI Authentication Modes
The Web UI authentication can be configured to operate in one of three modes.
● OFF - No authentication is required. When set to OFF, all users that navigate to the web
interface will be granted admin privileges and will be directed to the ‘home’ page when
typing in the IP address of the unit. The ‘home’ page is the ‘Input -> RD Services’ page
on RD products and the ‘Services -> ASI Transport’ for EN products.
● ON - Default behavior. All users that navigate to the web interface will be directed to a
‘Splash’ page that consists of a ‘Proceed to Login’ button, support links and information
about the unit including serial Number and firmware version. The admin username is
fixed at ‘adtec’ and can
​
not
​
be changed. The default password is ‘none’, but may be
changed via the ‘Security -> Password’ configuration. This password changes all
services including Web UI, FTP and Telnet.
