Security
Console Port Security
The RoamAbout R2 console port supports SNMPv3. Access to the console requires a
password. The default username is admin and the password is password. The password
must be a minimum of eight ASCII characters, and is case-sensitive.
The RoamAbout Access Point 2000 console port has two security features:
• You can configure the console port to require a password before users can access the
Installation Menu.
• You can configure the console port to prevent any management system from using
SNMP to modify the encryption parameters.
Secure Telnet Sessions
The R2 has the following security features for users accessing the R2 using Telnet:
• The ability to enable or disable Telnet access.
• Password protected. At anytime, you can change the password needed by users to
access the R2 using Telnet.
• SSH (Secure Shell) for a secure Telnet session. The clients must be configured with an
SSH application that supports SSH V2 or later.
The R2 can be configured to use DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) or RSA (named
after its authors) keys as the host key. The chosen key type must be supported by the
SSH client applications. In addition, you can choose the key size (in bits). The larger
the key, the more secure, but also the more time needed to create the key.
