How to administer the video system
In general, we recommend you to use the web interface
to administer and maintain the video system, as
described in this administrator guide.
Alternatively, you can access the API of the video
system by other methods:
• HTTP or HTTPS (also used by the web interface)
• SSH
• Tel n et
• Serial interface (RS-232)
If you want more information about the different access
methods, and how to use the API, refer to the API guide
for the video system.
Tip
If the configuration or status is available in the API, the
web interface setting or status translates into an API
configuration or status as follows:
Set X > Y > Z to Value (we b)
is the same as
xConfiguration X Y Z: Value
Check X > Y > Z status (web)
is the same as
xStatus X Y Z
(API)
(API)
Access methodNotesHow to enable/disable the methods
HTTP/HTTPS• Used by the web interface of the video system

About the service
certificates of the video
system
Certificate validation may be required
when using TLS (Transport Layer
Security).
A server or client may require that the
video system presents a valid certificate
to them before communication can be
set up.
The video system’s certificates are text
files that verify the authenticity of the
system. These certificates may be issued
by a certificate authority (CA).
Certificates are used for the following
services: HTTPS server, SIP, IEEE 802.1X
and audit logging.
You can store many certificates on the
video system, but only one certificate can
be enabled for each service at a time.
If authentication fails, the connection will
not be established.
1. Browse to find the Certificate
file and Private key file (optional)
on your computer.
2. Fill in the Passphrase if required.
3. Click Add certificate... to store
the certificate on the video
system.
The cer tificates and certificate issuers in the illustration are examples. Your system has other certificates.

About secure audit logging
When audit logging is enabled, all sign in
activity and configuration changes on the
video system are recorded.
Use the Security > Audit > Logging >
Mode setting to enable audit logging.
Audit logging is disabled by default.
In ExternalSecure audit logging mode
the video system sends encrypted audit
logs to an external audit server (syslog
server), which identity must be verified by
a signed certificate.
The signature of the audit server is
verified using the same CA list as other
servers/clients.
If the audit server authentication fails, no
audit logs are sent to the external server.

Persistency mode
Configurations, call history, internal
logs, local phonebook (local directory
and favorites list), and IP connectivity
information are stored by default.
Because all persistency settings are set
to Persistent, a system restart does not
delete this information.
Generally, we recommend you NOT to
change the persistency settings. Only
change to Non-persistent mode if
you have to prevent users from being
able to see or traceback to any logged
information from the previous session
In Non-persistent mode, the following
information is lost or cleared each time
the system restarts:
• System configuration changes
• Information about placed and
reveived calls (call history)
• Internal log files
• Changes to the local contacts or
favorites list
• All IP related information (DHCP) from
the last session
Information that was stored before
changing to Non-persistent mode
is not automatically cleared or
deleted. You must factory reset
