System administration access
About administration access
While it is possible to administer the TANDBERG VCS by using a
PC connected directly to the unit via a serial cable, you may wish
to access the system remotely over IP.
You can do this using either or both:
•
the
web interface
via HTTPS
•
a
command line interface
(CLI) via SSH or Telnet.
By default, access via HTTPS and SSH is enabled; access via
Telnet is disabled. These can be enabled and disabled according
to your requirements.
You can also enable access via HTTP. However, this mode works
by redirecting HTTP calls to the HTTPS port, so HTTPS must be
enabled for access via HTTP.
TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) accesses the VCS
!
via the web server. If HTTPS mode is turned off, TMS will
not be able to access it.
Security considerations
To securely manage the VCS you should disable Telnet, using
the encrypted HTTPS and SSH protocols instead. For further
security, disable HTTPS and SSH as well and use the serial port
to manage the system.
Because access to the serial port allows the password to
!
be reset, it is recommended that you install the VCS in a
physically secure environment.

Administration session timeout
By default, administration sessions do not time out – they remain
active until you logout.
You can set the system to timeout an administration session
after a set number of minutes of inactivity. The timeout period will
apply to all administration sessions using both the web interface
and the command line interface.
To set the timeout period:
