Services
You can configure your mpx110 to suit the demands of your environment using a variety of mpx110
services. Familiarize yourself with the following mpx110 services and determine which ones you
need:
• Telnet—Manages the mpx110 over a Telnet connection.
• mpx Manager GUI—Provides out-of-band management.
• SNMP—Monitors the mpx110 through third-party SNMP applications.
• NTP—Synchronizes the mpx110 and the workstation dates and times with an NTP server.
NTP is disabled (not configured) by default.
• FTP—Transfers files rapidly between the workstation and mpx110 using FTP.
Security
Managing the mpx110 requires secure passwords. The GUI application uses a default password
when connecting to an mpx110. Once connected, the GUI prompts the operator for a password
whenever a change is attempted.
The CLI requires a user name and password to start. All set operations require an active Admin
session. To enter an Admin session, the operator must enter a password.
The password can be changed by the operator.
