Available versions

2014-05-16T12:42:40Z

Maintenance script: Importing text file

This function allows you to update the system software. Two types of updates are available:
 

<ul>
<li>
full product version update
</li>
<li>
small update
</li>
</ul>

The function allows you to:

<ul>
<li>
have several product versions
</li>
<li>
delete updates (full and small) (the

X

button)
</li>
<li>
default setting of product version activated (button V)
</li>
<li>
having a constant insight into release notes (full and small updates) when unrolling a scrollbar with a particular product version
</li>
</ul>
 
Description of a product version:
 
 
<ul>
<li>
first three digits are related to product version number
</li>
<li>
next two digits are related to "up" with a number
</li>
<li>
product release date
</li>
<li>
name of a directory with a product
</li>
<li>
size of a directory with a product version
</li>
</ul>
 
While performing each update file upload release notes are introduced and update accepting or rejecting is possible. After accepting please click the

reboot

button so that the changes could take effect.
 
 
Option of default product version ("Boot" unit) means that the version marked will be booted automatically without a need of choosing a version in menu while system starting.

SNMP settings

2014-05-16T12:42:39Z

Maintenance script: Importing text file

This function enables you to configure access over the SNMP protocol in versions 2 or 3.


With SNMP enabled, you receive a wealth of information (CPU usage, system load, memory info, ethernet traffic, running processes).
 
System location and system contact are only for your information. For example, when you connect from an SNMP client, you will see your location and name.


SNMP, version 3 has an encrypted transmission feature as well as authentication by username and password.
 
SNMP, version 2 does not have encrypted transmission, and authentication is done only via the community string.


The community string you set can contain up to 20 characters, while the password needs to have at least 8 characters.

Maintenance script: Importing text file

With this function you can set the time and date:

<dl>
<dt>
Manual
</dt>
<dd>
Type in the time and date using the following format:

hh:mm:ss yyyy-mm-dd

. Use military format, i.e., 00:00 to 23:59.

<dt>
Use this PC time
</dt>
<dd>
The time and date on the PC on which you have your web browser will be used.
</dd>
<dt>
NTP server
</dt>
<dd>
This will pick up the time and date from an NTP server. In this case please make sure you have Internet access and proper network setup, especially the gateway and DNS. You can check proper Internet access by using ping from the console tools.
 
At the console, press

Ctl-Alt-T

. Select '

Ping

'.
</dd>
<dd>
To use this option you must set the correct NTP server in the

Time zone settings

function.

Remote console access

2014-05-16T12:42:30Z

Maintenance script: Importing text file

Using this function, you can manage console tools remotely via the SSH protocol (secure shell). The default user is

cli

and cannot be altered. The password, however, can be changed.


Allow IP
 

Here you can assign IP addresses (separated by a semicolon) which are granted remote access to the server. When left blank, the field indicates no restrictions.
 

Set port
 

The default port is 22222 for security reasons, because high-number ports are invisible to port scanners. You can only change the setting to a port within the 1024-65535 range. You cannot indicate ports already in use.
 

Password
 

Password length is 5 characters minimum. Be sure to use strong passwords.
 

Confirm password
 

Please retype your new password.


Password cannot contain:

<ul>
<li>
special characters such as

' " ` ^ & $ # [ ] \/ | *

</li>
<li>
spaces
</li>
</ul>

To connect to the server from Linux/MacOSX systems use:
 

ssh -2 -p 22222 -l cli ip_address


where:
<ul>
<li>
option: -2 indicates the SSH protocol version used for connection
</li>
<li>
option: -p indicates the remote access port
</li>
<li>
option: -l indicates the user (the user needs to be

cli

)
</li>
<li>
option: address_ip indicates the address of the server to which you want to connect
</li>
</ul>

You will be asked for the remote access password you have entered on the server.


To connect to the server from Microsoft Windows, download the free SSH client (
<a href="http://www.putty.nl">

inactive

if any of the following conditions are met:
 
<ul>
<li>
the interface with the default gateway has become part of a bonding interface,
