9.8 Automatic authentication (via Internet)
9.8.1 N ETWORK CONNECTION TO THE EQUIPMENT
The software will make it possible to authenticate equipment automatically via internet. First
the parameters must be configured. To do this enter the IP address on the authentication
centre and the communications port (choose any one that your firewall authorises). If a router
is used it must be configured to accept the TCP protocol on the appropriate port.
Next the connection to the equipment should be configured. To do this, enter the equipment
IP address (which should belong to the same sub-network as the authentication network
management terminal if using a switch or a router...) and the communications port.
To finish enter the login and password supplied with the equipment and click on the "OK"
button. The network management terminal connects to the centre and retrieves a valid key (if
the customer credit is sufficient) and sends it to the equipment.
Automatic authentication using a network cable
At the end of the operation the network management terminal disconnects from the centre and
the equipment should be tested to see whether the authentication was successful.
9.8.2 M ULTIPLE AUTHENTICATIONS (IP NETWORK )
It is possible to authenticate several appliances one after the other automatically without
changing the configuration each time. To do this all the equipment must be on the same IP
network and the network management terminal must have internet access.
