Configuring the SSP-3801 card
Configuring HCO Control to support card redundancy
To manage the security settings:
1 Open and log into the SSP-3801 card’s web interface (see
2 From the menu, select Card Configuration > Security.
3 In the Device Access Settings section, you can select Enable to grant access to specific
protocols or select Disable to deny access. If the protocols disabled by default are
enabled, an alarm is raised.
• FTP Access: Allows incoming FTP connections. Default: disabled.
• SSH Access: Allows incoming SSH connections (secure shell). This protocol is
usually only used by technical support. Default: disabled.
• HTTP Access: Allows incoming HTTP connections. No alarm is raised if it is enabled
in conjunction with HTTPS Redirection otherwise an alarm is raised. Default:
enabled.
• RSTP Access: Allows incoming RSTP connections in order to use the H.264
confidence monitor. IMPORTANT: When RTSP Access is enabled, all ports between
6970 and 65535 are opened for UDP access; therefore, this should only be done if
the card is located on a secure network. Default: disabled.
• HTTPS Redirection: Redirects the user to use HTTPS (secure) when connections are
made using HTTP. It must be enabled if HTTP Access is enabled otherwise an alarm
is raised.
4 If you enabled FTP Access, type the password for the account in the FTP Password field.
5 Click Save.
Configuring HCO Control to support card redundancy
An HCO device can be used to set up automatic failover between two SSP-3801 cards. The
HCO device can be installed in the same Densité frame as the cards or accessible on the
network. The HCO Control page only appears when an HCO is available in the system and
the OPT HCO license is enabled.
To configure the HCO:
1 Open and log into the SSP-3801 card’s web interface (see
2 From the menu, select Card Configuration > HCO Control.
Note:
If you intend to configure the HCO device to automatically perform
the failover to the backup card in the event of a failure on the main card, the
Switch Mode on the HCO device must be set to the Toggle option.
The Toggle option enables the HCO device to automatically switch from one
input to the other when alarm conditions trigger the switch. It will stay on
that input until you manually perform a switch back to the original input or
alarm conditions on the input trigger a switch back to the original input. For
more information on configuring the HCO device, see the HCO
documentation.
