Data Comm


(ONS 15454 with TCC2P cards only; Superusers only) Use this tab to manage the TCC2P security mode function. When security mode is enabled, two IP addresses are assigned to the node. One address is assigned to the backplane LAN port and the other to the TCC2P RJ-45 TCP/IP (LAN) port. Security mode can be enabled and not locked, which allows security mode to be disabled at a later point. Security mode can also be permanently locked. If it is locked, no provisioning can be performed from this tab.
