HTTPS
This ensures secure browser access to all of the Management Console
menus. It also allows appropriately configured Users secure browser ac-
cess to selected Management Console Manage menus.
If you enable HTTPS, the Administrator will be able to use a secure
browser connection to the ECS0016 gateway’s Management Console.
By default HTTPS is enabled, and it is recommended that only HTTPS
access be used if the gateway is to be managed over any public network
(e.g. the Internet).
HTTP
The HTTP service allows the Administrator basic browser access to
the Management Console. It is recommended that the HTTP service be
disabled if the ECS0016 gateway is to be remotely accessed over the
Internet.
Telnet
This gives the Administrator telnet access to the system command line
shell (Linux commands). While this may be suitable for a local direct
connection over a management LAN, it is recommended this service be
disabled if the ECS0016 is to be remotely administered.
SSH
This service provides secure SSH access to the Linux command line
shell. It is recommended you choose SSH as the protocol where the Ad-
ministrator connects to the gateway over the Internet or any other public
network. This will provide authenticated communications between the
SSH client program on the remote PC/workstation and the SSH server in
the gateway.
