Configuring System Settings

To configure the VCS’s system administration settings:

•System Configuration > System. You will be taken to the System Administration page.

•xConfiguration SystemUnit Name

•xConfiguration Administration

About the System Name

The system name is used to identify the VCS, for example in TMS.

It appears in various places in the web interface, and in the display on the front panel of the unit, so that you can identify it when it is in a rack with other boxes. If no name is specified, these fields/display will be blank.

We recommend that you give the VCS a name that allows you to easily and uniquely identify it.

About Admin Access settings

While it is possible to administer the TANDBERG VCS via a PC connected directly to the unit via a serial cable, you may wish to access the system remotely over IP.

You can do this using either or both:

System Administration Configuration

System name

Defines the name of the VCS. Choose a name that uniquely identifies the system.

Session time out (minutes)

Sets the number of minutes that an administration session (HTTPS, Telnet or SSH) may be inactive before the session is timed out. A value of 0 turns session time outs off.

Telnet service

Determines whether the VCS can be accessed via Telnet.

SSH service

Determines whether the VCS can be accessed via SSH and SCP.

HTTP service

Determines whether HTTP calls will be redirected to the HTTPS port.

HTTPS service

Determines whether the VCS can be accessed via the web server. This must be On to enable both web interface and TMS access.

•the web interface via HTTPS

•a command line interface via SSH or Telnet.

By default, access via HTTPS and SSH is enabled; access via Telnet is disabled.

You can also enable access via HTTP. However, this mode works by redirecting HTTP calls to the HTTPS port, so HTTPS must also be enabled for access via HTTP to function.

Save

You must save your changes and restart the system for changes to take effect.

Restart

Click here to restart the system.

TMS accesses the VCS via the web server. If HTTPS mode is turned off, TMS will not be able to access it.

!By default, access via HTTPS and SSH is enabled; access via Telnet is

disabled. To securely manage the VCS

you should disable Telnet, using the encrypted HTTPS and SSH protocols instead. For further security, disable HTTPS and SSH as well and use the serial port to manage the system.
