3.2 Incoming Logins
3.2.1 Controlling Incoming Logins
Incoming Telnet logins are enabled by default, and incoming LAT logins
are disabled. This behavior can be changed with the Change Incoming
command and one of the following parameters:
Telnet
Enables Telnet logins
LAT
Enables LAT logins
Both
Enables both Telnet and LAT logins
None
Disables Telnet and LAT logins
For security reasons, you may wish to disable incoming logins. If it is
undesirable to disable incoming logins, the MSS can be configured to
require a login password for incoming connections with the Change
Incoming Password
command. The incoming password feature can be
disabled with the Change Incoming Nopass command.
3.2.2 EZWebCon Login and Configuration
EZWebCon enables users on TCP/IP networks to log into and configure the
MSS. The program offers a simple interface that prompts the user for the
information necessary to configure the server.
Instructions for installing, running, and using EZWebCon are included on
the CD-ROM. Refer to the EZWebCon README file for specific platform
and host requirements.
3.2.3 Other Incoming TCP/IP Logins
3.2.3.1 Telnet
To log into the MSS, type “Telnet” followed by the MSS IP address.
Figure 3-3:
A Telnet Connection
Unlike Remote Console Logins (see page 3-5), incoming Telnet logins do
not require that the user enter a login password.
