Direct and Indirect Proxy Connections
The NetGuardian supports two proxy connections, direct and indirect. In a direct proxy connection, the
user enters an IP address and port number to Telnet directly to a TCP serial port. In an indirect
connection, the user navigates the TTY menu to select a proxy port. Since the TTY interface is
password protected, indirect connections are preferred. Some users prefer to disable direct proxy for all
connections in order to enforce the password security provided by the TTY interface.
One way to disable proxy connections is to set the proxy port to an uncommon value. This restricts the
access of other users, but it is more convenient and secure to set the data ports to
off
in the
Type
field.
When set to
off
, the port is no longer associated with a TCP socket, which effectively disables the port
from direct access.
Use the following steps to select proxy connections:
1. From the
Edit
menu >
Ports
screen, scroll down to the
Data Ports
section.
2. Enter a description and click on the
TCP
link, see Figure 2.11 above.
3. Under the
Type
column click on the drop-down menu and select the appropriate proxy connection,
see Figure 2.13.
4. Click the
Submit Data
button to save your configuration settings.
