Years ago I installed a secure web console for a previous employer and just last week I purchased another one for my current employer, but I just can't remember everything that I did to install it. I did not get any installation material on what needs to be configured, but it should be rather simple as I recall. Network guy is assigning a static IP address, connect the serial cable to the back of the machine and attach the network cable to the network. Does the network guy need to open a port (which I don't think I did back then, but a lot has changed with networking since 2000)? If he has to open a port, would the company be exposed to potential security risks? I realize a hacker would need to know certain things about the HP3K and logon info, but could a side door be opened? TIA!
