Each port number may be used for just one service in
the Com-Server. If differing numbers are used for
changeable ports, be sure that these are not assigned in
duplicate.
The Com-Server and network security
Network security has rightly taken on added significance in
recent times. All the experts are in agreement that there can
be no such thing as absolute security given today’s level of
technology. Every customer must decide for himself what the
appropriate balance is between security, functionality and
cost for his specific circumstances.
In order to provide the customer with the greatest possible
flexibility which is oriented towards changing security

measures have been made highly customer-configurable.
The present document provides an overview of the safety
measures which have been implemented and can be used on
the Com-Servers. It is presumed here that the original W&T
firmware (without any customer modifications) is being
used. Additional details can be found in the respective
sections of this manual.

functions. To prevent unauthorized access, it is therefore
recommended that a system password be used. Additional
measures in this regard, such as the composition and

customer in an organizational way.
The system password is transmitted to the Com-Server without
encoding. It must therefore be ensured if necessary that
password-protected access can be gained only over an Intranet
which the customer deems to be safe. For access over the
public Internet, additional measures such as the addition of a
