DASHBOARD – Login
Element Description
Sign In – User Account If a user account is configured for the Control Center, a sign-in dialog appears when the application starts. After entering a valid password, the dashboard opens and displays device information and status data. The available functionality depends on the assigned user role (Administrator,USB-Manager, or Read-Only User).
Note: The password requirements are described in Security-Control Center
Wrong password - Behavior If you enter the wrong password multiple times, the system will delay the next login for security reasons.

Note: The dongleserver may lose access to information (e.g., via DNS and SNTP) and you may not be able to access the dongleserver Control Center.
Define elements in the 'Exceptions' section that are excluded from port blocking. Test your settings for port access control via the 'Test mode' to ensure you can still access the dongleserver.
Test mode: Enables/disables the test mode.
With test mode, you can check your settings for port access control. If test mode is activated, access protection remains active until the next reboot of the dongleserver.
Note: After a successful test, you must deactivate test mode for the access protection to remain permanently active.
Whitelist: Enables/disables the whitelist function.
When whitelist is enabled, only previously configured IP addresses and subnets are allowed for communication with the system.
Blacklist: Enables/disables the blacklist function.

Security level Blocks selected port types.
- Block UTN access (UTN ports)
- Block TCP access (TCP ports: HTTP/HTTPS, UTN )
- Block all ports (IP ports)
Note:
- The 'Control port access' parameter must be enabled for the blocking to be effective.
- Define elements in the 'Exceptions' section that are excluded from port blocking. Test your settings via 'Test mode' to ensure you can still access the dongleserver.
Exceptions Define IP addresses, IP networks, and hardware addresses (MAC) that should be excluded from port blocking. Up to 16 exceptions can be configured in total.
IP networks are entered in CIDR notation (address/prefix length), e.g.:
  • - 192.168.4.0/24 (IPv4)
  • - 10.168.0.0/23 (IPv4)
  • - 2001:db8::/64 (IPv6)
Notes:
Enter individual IP addresses directly (without prefix), e.g., 192.168.1.100.
MAC addresses can also be defined as exceptions.
MAC addresses are not forwarded via routers and only apply within the local network segment.
- Wildcards like 192.168.1.* are no longer supported. Use CIDR notation instead, e.g., 192.168.1.0/24.
- The CIDR prefix length defines the size of the subnet. Example: 198.74.121.192/28 includes addresses 198.74.121.193–198.74.121.206.
- Make sure that the IP address matches the prefix (e.g., 2001:db8::/64).
- A smaller prefix length covers a larger network (e.g., /23 is larger than /24 for IPv4, or /48 is larger than /64 for IPv6).

  • Device assignment/Timeout: Combines the two methods described above.
  • Port key control: Defines a key for the USB port. In the SEH UTN Manager, the USB port and the connected USB device are displayed, but no connection can be established. The key must first be entered in the SEH UTN Manager.
  • Port key control/Timeout: Combines the two methods described above.
  • Port key control/Device assignment: Combines the two methods described above.
Method options Key: Specifies the key for the port key control. You can have the key generated automatically or enter it manually (max. 64 ASCII characters). Up to 2 keys with different validity can be assigned to one USB port.
Validity: Defines the validity of a port key. Validity determines when users can access a USB port and the connected USB device:
