Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic
3.6.3 Communication via TCP/IP
Usually, the configuration of the network connection is necessary to integrate a PZE-MasterIV Basic. But
if a DHCP server, that supplies all PCs and peripheral with dynamic IPs, is available in the network, this
configuration can be omitted. In this case the IP of the terminal has to be set on "‘000.000.000.000"’.

A possible access protection per Telnet or web interface to the TCP/IP module of the Datafox terminal
is deactivated after a restart of the device.
Starting from version 04.01.06.16 the following security mechanisms are available:
Variant 1 A complete protection of the terminal against remote access (Telnet-session, web interface) is
possible by deactivating remote access in the BIOS of the device. Then TCP/IP settings are only available
at the terminal itself.
The settings for the remote access (yes / no) in the BIOS can only be changed if the BIOS is protected
by a password. This means that after a firmware update it is necessary to transfer a setup with a BIOS
password before the settings can be changed.
This additional protection is necessary because a change of this setting (remote access yes/no) deactivates
a probably set Telnet password.
Variant 2 In a Telnet session you must set the value for "Enable Enhanced Password" to y (yes) in menu
6. Also set the value for "Change the password" to y (yes) and enter the password. Save these changes
at menu item 9, Save and Exit. With these settings you have protected the access per Telnet as well as
per web interface with a single password. With this variant you can still change the settings per remote
access.
Caution:
Important! A change of the setting remote access in the BIOS of the device deacti-
vates the Telnet Enhanced password. This can be desired if you forget the password
and want to reset the terminal. To do so you need the BIOS password which can
be found in the devices setup.
A firmware update has no influence on the security settings of the terminal!
