Introduction

Telnet

Telnet can be viewed as the equivalent of the serial protocol
in the TCP/IP world. Telnet is disabled by default. Before
connecting to the codec with Telnet you have to enable it.
Codec configuration
To enable Telnet service, configure the following setting on
the codec. Changing this setting does not require a reboot of
the device, but it may take some time to take effect.
xConfiguration NetworkServices Telnet Mode: On

SSH

SSH is a secure TCP/IP connection and it is enabled by
default on the codec. It can be disabled. You need a SSH
client, such as PuTTY, to access the API over SSH.

configure the following settings on the codec.
xConfiguration NetworkServices HTTP Mode:
<Off/On>
