3.2 Incoming Logins

3.2.1 Controlling Incoming Logins

Incoming Telnet logins are enabled by default, and incoming LAT logins 

are disabled. This behavior can be changed with the Change Incoming 

command and one of the following parameters:

Telnet

Enables Telnet logins

LAT

Enables LAT logins

Both

Enables both Telnet and LAT logins

None

Disables Telnet and LAT logins

For security reasons, you may wish to disable incoming logins. If it is 

undesirable to disable incoming logins, the MSS can be configured to 

require a login password for incoming connections with the Change 

Incoming Password

 command. The incoming password feature can be 

disabled with the Change Incoming Nopass command.

3.2.2 EZWebCon Login and Configuration

EZWebCon enables users on TCP/IP networks to log into and configure the 

MSS. The program offers a simple interface that prompts the user for the 

information necessary to configure the server.

Instructions for installing, running, and using EZWebCon are included on 

the CD-ROM. Refer to the EZWebCon README file for specific platform 

and host requirements.

3.2.3 Other Incoming TCP/IP Logins

3.2.3.1 Telnet 

To log into the MSS, type “Telnet” followed by the MSS IP address.

Figure 3-3:  

A Telnet Connection

Unlike Remote Console Logins (see page 3-5), incoming Telnet logins do 

not require that the user enter a login password.
