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) AUDIT, EMS, HTTP, ONVIF, PREVIEW, NMOS, RTSP, 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.
