Security

The Advanced Console Server includes a set of security profiles that consists
of predefined parameters to control access to CS and its serial ports. This
feature provides more control over the services that are active at any one time.
As an additional security measure, all serial ports are disabled by default,
which allows the administrator to enable and assign individual ports to users.
See "Security Profiles" on page 226 for detailed information and procedures.
