Access Procedures: Specific Access Procedures

General access guidelines

The following considerations apply to the access procedures covered in this section.
• If a firewall is in place, you must access any IP devices such as the P330 stack processor, MGP, or
media server from within the firewall boundary, or the firewall must grant the required access.
• Most corporate networks have one or more domain name service (DNS) servers that associate an
IP address with a device's name. You can only access an IP device by name if the DNS server has
been administered and is accessible for name resolution from the interface you are using. For
example, direct connections from a laptop to the Services interface on the S8300 Media Server
must use the server's IP address because DNS is disabled for this access method.
• Login service levels control access to the S8300 Media Server. These levels are specified through
ASA or SAT. On the Login Administration screen, under Login Being Administered, the following
service levels can be specified:
- super-user. Logins assigned to this service level receive full access to the media server web
interface. All screens are available.
- non-super-user. Logins assigned to this service level receive a restricted level of access to the
web interface. Only a few display-only screens are accessible.
- remote. Logins assigned to this service level can use a PPP dial-up connection.
