1. Immediately change the default password when you commission and install your codecs
(see instructions which follow). Create a strong password which includes both capital and
lower case letters, symbols and numbers (up to 15 characters can be entered). Password
managers can be useful when managing multiple passwords within organizations.
2. Ensure your codec is behind a firewall and only open the TCP and UDP ports required to
transmit session and audio data between your codecs. Using non-standard ports instead of
Tieline default ports can also ensure the codec is more difficult to discover by external
parties.
3. Ports 80 and 8080 are commonly used to access the Tieline codec web server. You can add
an additional layer of security by translating these ports on the WAN side of your network
into non-standard port numbers. Adjust ports using the Options panel in the Toolbox
HTML5 Web-GUI, or see
4. By default SIP interfaces are disabled to avoid unwanted traffic. The SIP Filter Lists panel
in the Toolbox HTML5 Web-GUI allows filtering of SIP URIs and User Agents to provide
greater security when using SIP. See
information.
5. An SSL security certificate can be installed on each codec in your network to ensure it is a
trusted device within your network. See
Be sure to document any port changes because this information will be required if you need to
contact Tieline or other online support services.
Changing the Default Password
The default User Name for the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI is admin and the default Password is
password. Tieline highly recommends changing the default password after initially connecting to
increase network security and protect your codec from being tampered with during live broadcasts.
Caution: Codecs connected to the internet can be accessed by anyone with knowledge of
the codec's public IP address. In addition, search engines are widely available which can
discover and expose unsecured 'internet connected devices'. Tieline recommends the
following IP codec security precautions as a bare minimum:
·
Immediately change the default password when you commission and install your
codecs. Create a strong password which includes both capital and lower case letters,
symbols and numbers (up to 15 characters can be entered). Password managers can
be useful when managing multiple passwords within organizations.
·
Ensure your codec is behind a firewall and only open the TCP and UDP ports required
to transmit data and audio between your codecs.
·
Ports 80 and 8080 are commonly used to access the Tieline codec web server. You
can add an additional layer of security by translating these ports on the WAN side of
your network into non-standard port numbers.
Using these basic precautions will help to protect your equipment from being tampered with
by nefarious characters.
