3Com BETA Getting Started Manual - Module
Chapter 3. Installing 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting Module
Note that the diskette contains a command to erase certain parts of the configuration
during boot when the diskette is inserted. Make sure to eject it once the Telecommuting
Module has booted up to avoid future loss of data.
If you happen to forget the administrator password for the Telecommuting Module, you
can insert the diskette into the Telecommuting Module again and boot it. Note that if you
selected anything but 1 as the update mode, you will lose configuration when doing this.
Turning off a Telecommuting Module
Backup the Telecommuting Module configuration (just in case something should happen).
You do this on the
Save/Load Configuration
page under
Administration
. Once this is
done, just turn the computer off. The computer that runs 3Com VCX IP Telecommuting
Module is specially designed so that you can switch it off without causing any problems in
the file structure.
Remember to lock up the Telecommuting
Module
The Telecommuting Module is a computer with special software, and must be protected from
unauthorized physical access just as other computers performing critical tasks. A locked up
Telecommuting Module protects against:
•
connecting to the console
•
connecting a keyboard and monitor
•
changing the administrator password using the installation diskette.
•
changing BIOS configuration to allow the Telecommuting Module to be booted from a
diskette
For more information about the necessary configuration, see chapter 3 of the User Manual.
