Application security includes wireless security and OM security. 1.6.1 Network Security eA680-950 network security uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). The SSL protocol is a security connection technology for the server and client. It provides a confidential, trusted, and identity-authenticating connection to two application layers.
SSL data can reach the destination intact. HTTPS For the eA680-950, the OM TCP applications can use SSL. HTTP over SSL is generally called HTTPS. HTTPS is used for connections between the NMS/WebUI and eA380. SSL also uses the digital certificate mechanism.
In normal cases, the USB port works in slave mode. In slave mode, the USB port will be mapped to a computer UI after the Huawei-provided chip driver is installed on the computer. This UI is locked by default. You can run other AT commands and write data to the SoftSim card only after running the unlock command.
USB ports. If the softsim tool is provided by Huawei, please apply the license of the tool from Huawei, and notice the usage scope. For details of apply guide,see SoftSim Tool License Operation Guide.
