Security Settings
Telnet Configuration Password
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access of the setup menu
via a Telnet connection to port 9999. The password is limited to 4 characters.
Note:
No password is required to access the setup menu via a serial
connection.
Security Settings
Note:
We recommend that you set security over the dedicated network or
over the serial setup. If you set parameters over the network (telnet
9999), someone else could capture these settings.
Select 6 to choose security settings. A normal security setting consists of four characters.
Extended security consists of 16 characters.
Disable Telnet Setup
This setting defaults to the N (No) option. The Y (Yes) option disables access to this
Configuration Menu by Telnet (port 9999). It only allows access locally via the serial port
of the Device Server.
Disable TFTP Firmware Upgrade
This setting defaults to the N (No) option. The Y (Yes) option disables the use of TFTP to
perform network firmware upgrades. With this option, firmware upgrades can be
performed only by using a *.hex file over the serial port of the Device Server.
Disable Port 77FE (Hex)
Port 77FE is a setting that allows OEMs and others to configure the Device Server
remotely. You may wish to disable this capability for security purposes. (For more
information about remote configuration, see the Lantronix Embedded Integration Kit user
guide on the Lantronix web site (http://www.lantronix.com).
The default setting is the N (No) option, which enables remote configuration. You can
configure the Device Server only by using Telnet or serial configuration. The Y (Yes)
option disables remote configuration.
Note:
The Yes option disables many of the GUI tools for configuring the
Device Server, including the embedded Web Page Configuration tool.
Disable Web Setup
This setting defaults to the N (option). The Y (Yes) option disables the use of the Web Page
Configuration tool that is built into the Device Server.
