CN8600 User Manual

Mode

Use this section to set the working mode parameters.

ŠEnable ICMP so that the CN8600 can be pinged. If it is not enabled, the device cannot be pinged. The default is Enabled.

ŠEnable Multiuser Operation to permit more than one user to log into the CN8600 at the same time. The default is Enabled.

ŠEnable Virtual Media Write allows redirected virtual media devices on a user’s system to send data to a remote server, as well as being able to have data from the remote server written to them. The default is Enabled.

ŠBrowser Service allows the administrator to limit the scope of browser access to the CN8600. Put a check in the checkbox to enable this function, then select the browser limitation in the drop down list box. Choices are explained in the following table:

Item

Explanation

 

 

Disable Browser

If this is selected, the CN8600 cannot be accessed via

 

a browser. It can only be accessed from the AP

 

programs (see AP Operation, page 91).

 

 

Disable HTTP

If this is selected, the CN8600 can be accessed via a

 

browser, but not from an ordinary (HTTP) login

 

connection – it can only be accessed over a secure

 

HTTPS (SSL) connection.

 

 

Disable HTTPS (SSL)

If this is selected, the CN8600 can be accessed via a

 

browser over an ordinary (HTTP) login connection, but

 

not via a secure HTTPS (SSL) connection.

 

 

ŠIf Disable Authentication is checked, no authentication procedures are used to check users attempting to log in. Users gain Administrator access to the CN8600 switch simply by entering combination of username and password.

Note: Enabling this setting creates an extremely dangerous result as far as security goes, and should only be used under very special circumstances.
