to the system through one of these interfaces. Sessions include an indication of how you are logged on to
the RealPresence Group system, such as the local interface, web interface, Telnet, or serial API.
To configure remote access settings:
1 Do one of the following:
 In the local interface, go to Settings > Administration > Security > Remote Access.
 In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > Security > Global Security > Access.
2 Configure the following settings. Not all settings are available on both interfaces. The visibility of

Description
Activates the ability to log entries to the security log when the system
detects a possible network intrusion. This setting is enabled or disabled by
default based on the security profile, but can be changed.
Specifies whether to allow remote access to the system by using the web
interface.
Specifies whether the User Settings screen is accessible to users through
the local interface. For more information about user access settings, refer
to Managing User Access to Settings and Features
Specifies that the web server is accessible only over a secure HTTPS port.
Enabling this setting closes the HTTP port and so disables redirects of
sessions from HTTP to HTTPS (all access must be initiated as HTTPS).
Specifies the port to use when accessing the system using the Polycom
RealPresence Group system web interface using HTTP.
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 the Polycom
RealPresence Group system web interface to access the system. This
makes unauthorized access more difficult.
If Restrict to HTTPS is enabled, the Web Access Port setting is
unavailable.
Specifies whether to allow remote access to the system by telnet.
Specifies whether to allow telnet port 23 to time out at the configured time
interval or not. The timeout setting is set under Idle Session Timeout in
Minutes.
Specifies whether to allow telnet port 24 to time out at the configured time
interval or not. The timeout setting is set under Idle Session Timeout in
Minutes.
Specifies whether to allow remote access to the system by SNMP.
