System Administration Configuration

System Configuration

System name

Defines the name of the VCS. Choose a name
that uniquely identifies the system.

Save

Click here to save your changes.

Restart

Click here to restart the system.

You must save your changes and
restart the system for changes to take
effect.

About the System Name

The system name is used to identify the VCS,
for example in TMS.
It appears in various places in the web
interface, and in the display on the front panel
of the unit, so that you can identify it when it
is in a rack with other boxes. If no name is
specified, these fields/display will be blank.
We recommend that you give the VCS a name
that allows you to easily and uniquely identify
it.

Session time out (minutes)

Sets the number of minutes that an
administration session (HTTPS, Telnet or SSH)
may be inactive before the session is timed
out. A value of 0 turns session time outs off.

Telnet service

Determines whether the VCS can be accessed
via Telnet.

SSH service

Determines whether the VCS can be accessed
via SSH and SCP.

About Admin Access settings

While it is possible to administer the
TANDBERG VCS via 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

via SSH or

Telnet.

By default, access via HTTPS and SSH is
enabled; access via Telnet is disabled.
You can also enable access via HTTP.
However, this mode works by redirecting HTTP
calls to the HTTPS port, so HTTPS must also
be enabled for access via HTTP to function.


!

By default, access via HTTPS and SSH
is enabled; access via Telnet is
disabled. 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.

TMS accesses the VCS via the web
server. If HTTPS mode is turned off,
TMS will not be able to access it.

HTTPS service

Determines whether the VCS can be accessed
via the web server. This must be On to enable
both web interface and TMS access.

HTTP service

Determines whether HTTP calls will be
redirected to the HTTPS port.
