4.6.3 Protocols Supported
TCP/UDP/IP - Transport Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol/Internet
Protocol, providing connectivity over LAN/WAN to any
networked computer.
HTTP - HyperText Transport Protocol, providing a Web-browser interface
to the management computer. (‘Max. number of simultaneous
connections’ = unlimited, although only one is processed at a time)
HTTPS - Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer is a Web
protocol that encrypts and decrypts user page requests as well as
the pages that are returned by the Web server. It uses Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) as a sublayer under its regular HTTP
application layering. HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port
80 in its interactions with the lower layer, TCP/IP. SSL uses a 40-
bit key size for the RC4 stream encryption algorithm, which is
considered an adequate degree of encryption for commercial
exchange.
FTP - File Transfer Protocol, providing access to the ‘FTP file system’
of the TANDBERG Gateway. (‘Max. number of simultaneous
connections’ = 1)
TELNET - Provide a standard command-line interface to management
functions. (‘Max. number of simultaneous connections’ = 8)
TELNET CHALLENGE - An option to the standard Telnet service. Telnet Challenge offers a
telnet connection where the password is not sent over the network,
hence impossible to sniff.

management and surveillance. (RFC1157 SNMPv1, RFC 1213

automatically be given IP address and Subnet Mask when
connected to a network with a DHCP server.
In addition to the above, TCP/IP based protocols allowing management to be performed
