HP VCX Software Turning off a Telecommuting Module, Remember to lock up the Telecommuting Module

Chapter 3. Installing 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module

Note that the diskette contains a command to erase certain parts of the configuration during boot when the diskette is inserted. Make sure to eject it once the Telecommuting Module has booted up to avoid future loss of data.

If you happen to forget the administrator password for the Telecommuting Module, you can insert the diskette into the Telecommuting Module again and boot it. Note that if you selected anything but 1 as the update mode, you will lose configuration when doing this.

Turning off a Telecommuting Module

Backup the Telecommuting Module configuration (just in case something should happen). You do this on the Save/Load Configuration page under Administration. Once this is done, just turn the computer off. The computer that runs 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module is specially designed so that you can switch it off without causing any problems in the file structure.

Remember to lock up the Telecommuting Module

The Telecommuting Module is a computer with special software, and must be protected from unauthorized physical access just as other computers performing critical tasks. A locked up Telecommuting Module protects against:

•connecting to the console

•connecting a keyboard and monitor

•changing the administrator password using the installation diskette.

•changing BIOS configuration to allow the Telecommuting Module to be booted from a diskette

For more information about the necessary configuration, see chapter 3 of the User Manual.
