Appendix TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing System
102
Appendix 6: Security
The TANDBERG Director Videoconferencing system has several features both to protect from
unauthorized use and system access:
Access Code
When ‘Access Code’ is enabled, the user will be asked to enter an access code before he/she is able to
make a call.
The system will verify if the entered access code is valid by checking the code with the allowed codes
listed in the ‘access.txt’ file on the ftp-server in the codec.
If no ‘access.txt’ file is uploaded to the codec, registration of the code will be done without validation.
E.g. you can enter whatever code you want and have access to the system.
The ‘access.txt’ file is a plain text file with one line per access code as shown below:
1234
1250
A1
B2
ABC
To upload this file to the codec, follow these steps:
· Open a DOS-window and go to the folder where the ‘access.txt’ file is located.
· Type ftp <IP-address of your local codec).
· ‘User:’, press Enter or enter IP-password.
· Type “bin” and press Enter
· Go to the user folder, type “cd user”.
· Upload the ‘access.txt’ file, type ‘put access.txt’.
· Exit from ftp, type ‘bye’.
Menu Password
Access to the menu system on the TANDBERG Videoconferencing unit can be controlled using
password protection. This is done by using the following dataport command:
menupassword set <pin-code>. The pin-code should be maximum 5 - five digits. To erase the
password, enter an empty pin-code.
Streaming Password
By setting a streaming password in the streaming menu on the TANDBERG codec, a password have to
be entered on the streaming client to be able to see the videostream from the TANDBERG
Videoconferencing Unit.
IP Password
By setting a IP Password on the TANDBERG codec, all access to the system using IP (Telnet, FTP, WEB)
requires a password. This password can be enabled from telnet or dataport using the command:
ippassword “<ip-password>”.
To remove this password, use the command: ippassword ””. From telnet, this is only possible by first
entering the correct password.
