V-8512 DSN20.04 SV-9007r1_rule Medium
Description
Requirement: The IAO at the SMU site will ensure that the SMU management port or stations are not connected to any network other than one dedicated to management of the SMU.The system design and architecture of the SMU provides for no security configuration capability (i.e., user account, password, privileged user, or auditing capability). Trunk and subscriber provisioning is accomplished via an administrator’s terminal, which is a dumb terminal, connected to the system via serial connection. From this terminal, at power up, the user has direct access to provisioning features of the system. Therefore, security protection to the SMU is provided through the physical security of the unit.
