service

Important

(Makito X4 Rugged Encoder only) If the COM1 port is not configured for CLI Management, and all remote management interfaces (HTTP, telnet, SSH, and SNMP) are disabled, the only way to re-enable these services is by a Factory Reset. Once the serial port is configured for metadata or passthrough use, it is no longer usable for CLI management.

For security purposes, you may need to stop one or more network services from accessing the Makito X device. The service command is used to enable and disable the following network services: all, or (depending on the platform) EMS, HTTP, ONVIF, (serial) PASSTHROUGH, RTSP, SAP (decoder only), SNMP, SSH, TALKBACK, TELNET, and VF.

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.

http service is currently enabled
http service is enabled at system startup
sap service is currently disabled
sap service is disabled at system startup
snmp service is currently enabled

# service

Displays usage information for the service command (ex: Makito X1 Rugged Encoder).

Usage: service svcname action
svcname can be: all, ems, http, onvif, passthrough, rtsp, snmp, ssh, telnet

                
action can be:
start   activates the service right away and configures the unit so that
        the service will be started automatically when the unit is rebooted.

                
stop    de-activates the service right away and configures the unit so that
        the service will be disabled when the unit is rebooted.

                
restart restarts the service and configures the unit so that the service
        will be started automatically when the unit is rebooted.

                
status displays the current and startup status of the service.

# service telnet stop

Stops telnet connection to the Makito X.

# service telnet restart

Re-starts telnet connections to the Makito X.

Tip

On the Makito X4 Rugged, pass-through allows the serial port to be used as a pass-through interface to control serially attached devices, such as PTZ controlled cameras.
