Technical Description of TANDBERG MCU with software version D3
D12925 Rev. 03
35
4.6.4.3 Management using a standard Telnet-client:
(I.e. a Telnet program bundled with the Windows operating system)
This gives the user the same functionality as from the web interface and the RS232 port. It
provides advanced debug capabilities such as ISDN layer 3 (D-channel) traces on the Primary
Rate interfaces, low-level H.320 protocol diagnostics (e.g. H.221 traces), etc. This interface is a
command-line type interface, not a graphical interface like the Web-browser interface. The
system supports multiple simultaneous Telnet sessions. See chapter 4.3 and document
‘TANDBERG MCU API’ (D12930) for details of API commands available via RS232/Telnet.
4.6.4.4 Management using a terminal connected to the RS232 port:
(I.e. using the HyperTerminal program bundled with the Windows operating system).
Provides the same services and features as the Telnet-interface does, but locally. See chapter 4.3
and the document ‘TANDBERG MCU API’ (D12930) for details of API commands available
via RS232/Telnet.
4.6.5 Security
4.6.5.1 HTTPS,
TLS/SSL
The TANDBERG MCU supports HTTPS in order to ensure secure transmission of the
information displayed on the administrator’s PC.
I.e. a secure connection between any Web browser and the MCU (the
MCU web server
) will be
established if the HTTPS service on the MCU is enabled. HTTPS allows for password exchange
which is especially important.
•
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer, protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private
documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that is
transferred over the SSL connection.
•
HTTPS
Web pages that require an SSL connection start with
https:
instead of
http:
.
•
TLS - Transport Layer Security
To enable HTTPS, use the API command
services https on
. The HTTPS server will then be
activated at next restart.
If the MCU’s HTTP service also is activated, the user will automatically be redirected to
HTTPS. If HTTP is de-activated, you will have to specify HTTPS. (In the latter case
https://10.0.5.203
will work, but not
http://10.0.5.203
).
