CMG-DCM Data Communications Module

If all these methods are disabled, you may still be able to connect to

the DCM over a serial link using

getty (see serial.x.service, above), or

over a direct modem connection. Your settings will come into effect as

soon as you click

Save settings, so you should ensure that you have a

backup means of communication with the DCM before disabling these

methods.

net.remoteaccess.allow.telnet : Select

yes to allow telnet clients to log

in to the DCM's Linux operating system, or

no to disallow connections

over telnet. Select

no to disable it. By default, this method is disabled

for security reasons.

net.remoteaccess.allow.ssh : Select

yes to allow SSH clients to log in

to the DCM's Linux operating system, or

no to disallow connections

over SSH. By default, this method is enabled.

net.remoteaccess.allow.http : Select

yes to allow access to the Web-

based administration system by unencrypted HTTP. (A username and
password will still be required, but they are sent over the network

insecurely.) Select

no to disable it. By default, this method is disabled

for security reasons.

net.remoteaccess.allow.https : Select

yes to allow access to the Web-

based administration system by HTTPS (secure HTTP), or

no to disable

it. By default, this method is enabled.

6.11 PPP

These pages allow you to alter the PPP configuration files,
/etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.

These two files are required by the Linux PPP server, and affect all

ppp

services on the DCM. Separate PPP options for each port may be

specified under

Serial port configuration; see above.

The /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file is only necessary if you are using

CHAP to authenticate PPP connections.

Clicking on either of these entries brings up a page in the work area
which enables you to edit the file and its attributes directly, including

the ownership of the file;

the permissions (read, write, or execute) of the file for its own

user, its own group, and all others; and
