Chapter 3 Licensing, Installation and Initial Configuration
An optional password can be set to control remote access to the MML. This is done using the CNSYS
command:
CNSYS:PASSWORD=password,CONFIRM=password;
If set, a user opening a telnet session to the MML is prompted to enter a password, for example:
SS7G20(SGW) logged on at 2004-01-20 14:52:29
password:
Password access can be removed by specifying “null” values for the PASSWORD and CONFIRM parameters,
that is:
CNSYS:PASSWORD=,CONFIRM=;
For additional security, the units support the use of Secure Shell (SSH) tunnelling for telnet and secure FTP
operation. The user should use the CNSYS command to restrict telnet access to "telnet via SSH tunnelling"
only. For example:
CNSYS:SECURE=Y;
Note: The unit does not provide a Secure Shell session connection. Your SSH client may need additional
configuration to allow SSH tunnelling without a session connection.
Once activated, a future user is required to set up an SSH tunnel prior to telnet access. For a client on a
Linux or Solaris like operating system, login for telnet using the ssh application. The ssh application should be
invoked using a shellscript of the following form:
#!/bin/sh
ssh -l siuftp -C -f $1 -L 2323:$1:8101 sleep 5
telnet localhost 2323
