service

For security purposes, you may need to stop one or more network services from accessing the Makito X4. The service command is used to enable and disable the following decoder network services: all, or (depending on the platform) EMS, HTTP, SNMP, SSH, and TELNET.

Caution

Take care not to disable all network services; you must at least keep http (Web interface), telnet, or ssh active. Otherwise you will lose access control to the unit, and the only way to re-enable these services is by a Factory Reset.
