In my earlier response I failed to notice that the system was an N-class.
Lars is absolutely right about the built-in "secure-web-console" that
comes with all N-class and all but the earliest A-class e3k's.
And, yes, the built-in is definitely more functional allowing
cut-and-paste as well as telnet access, whereas the external variety
has only java access to it via a web browser and no cut-and-past.
So, if one has a choice, the built-in is definitely superior and
available with only proper configuration.
However, the external SWC is available for all e3k's, and would still
be most useful where is internal swc is not an option.
