8.6.2.2 Secure Management – NP Interface PLUS TRANSEC Module
Interface
When the optional NP Interface is installed in the SLM-5650A in tandem with the optional
TRANSEC Module Interface and with Management Security enabled. The network management
operating restrictions as previously described (i.e., when High Level Security is selected)
therefore always apply. Additionally, the NP HTTPS Interface provides a status parameter
associated with the TRANSEC Module – a second TRANSEC Key.
The TRANSEC Module Interface provides a proxy function of HTTPS connections to the Base
Modem and the NP Interface; a secure HTTPS connection to the TRANSEC Module therefore
enables user access to all Base Modem and/or all NP M&C parameters securely through this
indirect proxy connection. The Secure Management interfaces supported by this configuration are
summarized as follows:
Base Modem Network Processor Interface TRANSEC Module
HTTPS Proxy via TRANSEC Module HTTPS
SSH
SNMPv3
HTTPS (Proxy via TRANSEC Module)
HTTPS
SSH
8.6.3 User Login
Access to the SLM-5650A’s NP HTTP/HTTPS Interface depends on the IP Interface Security
Mode setting selected for the interface (via the Admin | Security page – see Chapter Sect.
8.6.6.2.3 for more information).
From any compatible Web browser, enter the NP Interface IP Address into the browser’s
Address area as follows (where “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” represents the IP Address of the NP Interface):
• For non-secure HTTP session (Low Level Security selected) – http:// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
• For secure HTTPS session (High Level Security selected) – https:// xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
When prompted, type in a valid User Name and Password,
similar to the dialog box shown to the right. The default for
both is comtech. Click [OK] to continue.
Note: The NP Interface User Name and Password are each
restricted to a minimum of 7 characters and a maximum of 25
characters, excluding < (ASCII Code 60), > (ASCII Code 62), “
(ASCII Code 34), and ~ (ASCII Code 126).
