Management Configuration Opening a MetaASSIST View Session3-4 User Manual ML700Opening a MetaASSIST View Session Note the following Sessions can be opened to the ML through various types of connections (local RS232,Ethernet, HSL, etc. - see below), where the session can be direct to the ML or via anotherunit (indirect). Up to 100 Local user/IP-shared accounts are supported - either RADIUS (on page 12-15),local DB or a combination of both. The same user account can be re-used from the sameor different IP hosts. A MetaASSIST View session to the ML is opened using User Name and Password tologin to the ML NE. The default User Name and Password are factory set on the ML NEand are modifiable. The indirectly connected MLs are automatically accessed using thesame User Name and Password applied to the directly connected ML. If configured, a user defined security access warning (on page 12-2) appears when anML is accessed. Auto-logout (for Write and Admin access privilege) is performed if no user operation wasdetected for a pre-defined period of time (default on ML NE = 30 minutes). Read-Onlyusers, by default are never logged out (can be reconfigured on ML NE). ML units meeting the required criteria are discovered automatically (auto-discovery (onpage 3-7)). ML units that fail to connect are listed in a table and can be analyzed. IP/Ethernet connection - The MGMT VLAN must be consistently configured on all NEs.The IP/Ethernet access on each NE can be controlled and additionally secured (by ACLor SSH). Embedded Operational Channel (EOC) - single DSL mode-based connectivity that isalways available for the STU-R NE. EOC is used to detect STU-R NE and to enableremotely configuring IP/VLAN connectivity from STU-C NE (NE with HSL configuredin –O mode). Types of session connections Serial RS-232 Craft (on page 2-3) interface - used mainly for first time set up and canbe used to reconfigure IP addresses. Ethernet COLAN (MGMT) port. By default, this port is disabled as a management portand is included in the default MGMT VLAN (VID=100) as untagged member. Ethernet service port - by default, it is configured for service traffic only. Can also beconfigured for in-band management. HSL port. Enables indirect access to remote ML systems from the directly connectedsystem. By factory default, all HSL ports are included in default MGMT VLAN(VID=100) as tagged members.
