Services

You can configure your mpx110 to suit the demands of your environment using a variety of mpx110
services. Familiarize yourself with the following mpx110 services and determine which ones you
need:

Telnet—Manages the mpx110 over a Telnet connection.

mpx Manager GUI—Provides out-of-band management.

SNMP—Monitors the mpx110 through third-party SNMP applications.

NTP—Synchronizes the mpx110 and the workstation dates and times with an NTP server.
NTP is disabled (not configured) by default.

FTP—Transfers files rapidly between the workstation and mpx110 using FTP.

Security

Managing the mpx110 requires secure passwords. The GUI application uses a default password
when connecting to an mpx110. Once connected, the GUI prompts the operator for a password
whenever a change is attempted.

The CLI requires a user name and password to start. All set operations require an active Admin
session. To enter an Admin session, the operator must enter a password.

The password can be changed by the operator.
