13. VISTEC ACCESS TO THE MACHINE
For the best and quickest support by the Vistec engineers access to the machine:
a217
with SSH is required. SSH (Secure Shell) is a TCPIP protocol for creating a secure
connection between two computers. Because Secure Shell encrypts the data send over
the line, it will prevent
hackers logged on the system and prevent hackers can “see”
confidential data. The most important functions of ssh are:
- Secure Interactive login (
ssh
)
- Secure file transfer (
sftp
)
- Secure tunnelling (
ssh –L<port>:<host>:<port>
)
An extra security item is to only allow the Vistec IP-address to get through the local
networks firewall and access the machine. The IP-addresses of Vistec are:

62.132.232.130
Albany (us)
