Remote Access

Remote access means using a RealPresence Group system in some way other than through the local
interface, such as by using the web, a serial port, or telnet. A session is an instance of a user connected to
the system through one of these interfaces. Sessions include an indication of how you are logged on to the
RealPresence Group system, such as the local interface, web interface, telnet, or serial API.
To configure remote access settings:
1 Do one of the following:
 In the local interface, go to Settings > Administration > Security > Remote Access.
 In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Security > Global Security > Access.
2 Configure the following settings. Not all settings are available on both interfaces. The visibility of
some settings is affected by the type of security profile your system uses.
