Technical Description of TANDBERG Gateway with software version G2
D13192 Rev. 02 27
remotely. Local management, control and software upgrade facilities are also available through
a standard RS232 interface.
4.6.4 System Management Functionality
4.6.4.1 Remote software upgrades using FTP:
This service is provided by the standard TCP/IP based FTP protocol. Any networked PC may
perform software upgrades either locally or over the Internet depending on the LAN connectivity
on the customer premises (firewalls etc.). By using any FTP-client software (such as the FTP-
client bundled with the Windows operating system), it is possible to upload the new software
release to the TANDBERG Gateway. The software file is in binary format in order to decrease
upload time. All settings of the TANDBERG Gateway will be restored after a software upgrade.
4.6.4.2 Management using a standard Web-browser:
The web-browser is the most common way to manage the TANDBERG Gateway giving access
to all managing features of the TANDBERG Gateway. Using a standard Web-browser
(Netscape, MS Internet Explorer 3.0 or later), the user may perform all forms of meeting set-up
and control, but also diagnostics, troubleshooting and software upgrade.
4.6.4.3 Management using a standard Telnet-client:
(i.e. a Telnet program bundled with the Windows operating system)
This gives the user the same functionality as from the web interface and the RS232 port. It
provides advanced debug capabilities such as ISDN layer 3 (D-channel) traces on the Primary
Rate interfaces, low-level H.320 protocol diagnostics (e.g. H.221 traces), etc. This interface is a
command-line type interface, not a graphical interface like the Web-browser interface. The
system supports multiple simultaneous Telnet sessions. See chapter 4.3 and the document
‘TANDBERG Gateway API’ (D13202) for details of API commands available via
RS232/Telnet.
4.6.4.4 Management using a terminal connected to the RS232 port:
(i.e. using the HyperTerminal program bundled with the Windows operating system).
Provides the same services and features as the Telnet-interface does, but locally. See chapter 4.3
and the document ‘TANDBERG Gateway API’ (D13202) for details of API commands
available via RS232/Telnet.
4.6.5 Security
4.6.5.1 HTTPS, TLS/SSL
The TANDBERG Gateway supports HTTPS in order to ensure secure transmission of the
information displayed on the administrator’s PC (i.e. a secure connection between any Web
browser and the TANDBERG Gateway (the TANDBERG Gateway web server) will be
established if the HTTPS service on the TANDBERG Gateway is enabled). HTTPS allows for
password exchange which is especially important.
