Scheduling access to USB devices

In secure environments, devices can be configured to limit or disable the capabilities of USB host ports.

You can disable the front USB port using access control restrictions. Devices also have a rear USB port designed

for card readers and human interface devices, such as a keyboard.

1

From the Embedded Web Server, click

Settings

>

Security

>

Schedule USB Devices

.

2

Select a device action, and then specify when the device performs the action.

3

Click

Save

.

Notes:

•

For each Disable schedule entry, create an Enable schedule entry to reactivate use of the USB host

ports.

•

You can create multiple schedules.

Setting login restrictions

To prevent malicious access to a device, restrict the number of invalid login attempts and require a lockout time

before letting users retry logging in.

Many organizations establish login restrictions for information assets such as workstations and servers. Make

sure that device login restrictions also comply with organizational security policies.
