Description
Specifies whether to allow remote access to the system by:
• FTP
• Web
• Telnet
You may select any of these, or any combination of them.
Note: The system restarts if you change the remote access
settings. This setting does not deactivate the associated
port, only the application. Use Web Access Port to disable
the port.
Specifies whether the User Settings screen is accessible to
users via the System screen.
Select this option if you want to allow users to change
limited environmental settings.
Specifies whether to allow viewing of the room where the
system is located, or video of calls in which the system
participates, using VSX Web.
Note: This feature activates both near site and far site video
displays in Web Director.
Specifies the port to use when accessing the system using
VSX Web.
If you change this from the default (port 80), specify a port
number of 1025 or higher, and make sure the port is not
already in use. You will need to include the port number with
the IP address when you use VSX Web to access the
system. This makes unauthorized access more difficult.
Note: The system restarts if you change the web access
port.
