Chapter 10: Securing Your Xt Series; Setting Pin Codes For The Xt Series - Avaya XT Series Deployment Manual

Chapter 10: Securing your XT Series

You can secure access to the basic and advanced settings of your Avaya Room System XT Series
by setting a PIN code to access these sections of the endpoint interface. You can also secure web
logins and limit remote upgrades to the system if required. For information on 802.1x network
authentication and 802.1q VLAN tagging, see
page 156. You can also secure the connection between video network devices and the XT Series by
configuring the network's components to communicate via the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
protocol, and enabling encryption.
An important aspect of securing your XT Series is to ensure that telnet and SNMP connections are
disabled when you do not use the connections.

Setting PIN Codes for the XT Series

About this task
There are two PIN codes which you can configure to restrict access to your XT Series menus
(local interface, not web interface). The administrator PIN is enabled by default (1234) to protect
your system's advanced settings from being changed by users, such as defining a camera or
network settings. We recommend that you change the administrator PIN when starting the system
configuration to prevent users from changing settings by mistake. To modify the web username
and password for the XT Series, see
The PIN for basic settings is disabled by default. You can enable it to require users to enter the
PIN for all basic settings, such as changing the interface language. The default value for this PIN
is 1234.

If configuring from the endpoint, you must first enable advanced configuration, as described in
Enabling Advanced Maintenance on the XT Series
To modify the PIN from the web interface, you must be connected via HTTPS (see
