Password Control

The Embedded Web Server is protected by a unique username and password combination.
The first time a browser request is made, the User is requested to provide his username and
password to obtain access. Subsequent requests are negotiated by the browser on behalf of
the User, so that the User doesn't have to re-enter the username and password for each
request, but the request is still authenticated (the Embedded Web Server uses the MD5
authentication method supported by the HTTP 1.1 protocol).
An additional level of protection is obtained by a restriction that no more than three IP
addresses can access the Embedded Web Server concurrently. With this approach, a fourth
User is told that the server is busy, even if the correct username and password were
provided.

Embedded Web Server Username and Password

The default username and password for all gateways are:
Username = "Admin" (case-sensitive)
Password = "Admin" (case-sensitive)
For details on changing the username and password, see
Username and Password
maximum of 7 case-sensitive characters.
The User can reset the Web username and password (to the default values) by enabling an
ini file parameter called 'ResetWebPassword'. The Web password is automatically the
default password.

Configuring the Web Interface via the ini File

Two additional security preferences can be configured using ini file parameters. These
security levels provide protection against unauthorized access (such as Internet hacker
attacks), particularly to Users without a firewall. For information on the ini file see
ini File Configuration of the VCX V7122

Limiting the Embedded Web Server to Read-Only Mode

Users can limit the Web Interface to read-only mode by changing the ini file parameter
'DisableWebConfig' to 1. In this mode all Web screens are read-only and cannot be
modified. In addition, the following screens cannot be accessed: 'Quick Setup', 'Change
Password', 'Reset', 'Save Configuration', 'Software Upgrade Wizard', 'Load Auxiliary Files',
'Configuration File' and 'Regional Settings'.

Disabling the Embedded Web Server

To deny access to the gateway through HTTP protocol, the User can disable the Embedded
Web Server task. To disable the Web task, use the ini file parameter 'DisableWebTask = 1'.
The default is to Web task enabled.
