Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) provides a simple way to transfer files from one
machine to another. The OCR 812 has a TFTP server that allows you to copy files to
or from the unit. All you have to do is set up TFTP access on the OCR 812 and run
a TFTP client program on a workstation.
You can configure the OCR 812 to provide access to all TFTP clients or you can
specify the IP addresses of the TFTP clients for restricted access.
To view the current TFTP client access list, use the command:


list tftp clients
To add a TFTP client to the list, use the command:


add tftp client <host name or IP address or 0.0.0.0>
Provide either the host name or the IP address of the workstation running the TFTP
client. An address of 0.0.0.0 allows all TFTP clients unrestricted access.
To remove a TFTP client from the list, use the command:


delete tftp client <host name or IP address or 0.0.0.0>
The OCR 812 provides the capability to password-protect access to the CLI. When
the password protection feature is enabled, a user connecting to the CLI via the
serial console port will be prompted for the CLI password.
After the correct password is entered, all CLI commands are accessible by the user.
The user can 'exit' from the CLI to disable further access or can configure an idle
timeout period. If no commands are executed by the CLI for a period longer than
the idle timeout period, the user will automatically be logged out of the console.
The password will have to be re-entered in order to access the CLI again.
CLI password protection is disabled by default.
Password protection can be configured by the QuickSetup program or by using CLI
commands.
The Console password is independent of the Login Access passwords. Only the
Console password can be used to gain access to the Console port.
To enable or disable CLI password protection, use the commands:


enable command password <password> or
disable command password
where <password> is an alphanumeric string of 1 to 8 characters. The default
password is "password."
To display console port status (console port connection up or not up), you can


display console port prompt status by entering the show command
command.
For a description of the show command command, see
command.
Be sure to save your configuration after entering a new password.
