Secure ASE Communication

Solution

Enabling secure communication between the ASE, PAC and TruView Central should be the same for all ASEs running firmware version 6.9 or higher. This procedure has been tested on ASE Series 1900 and Series 400.

Connect to the ASE

Telnet (tcp/23) Serial port (8N1, 19200)

Login to ASE 

Default credentials admin/visual

Check for security command and enter the settings as follows. You can add Host Address Security at a later stage. Be prepared to set a passcode. For security reasons, this should be different from the login password.

CRT-DEV-ASE007> sh sec

    Security Level:          Partial
    SSL TCP Port :           2359
    Management passcode:     Set
    Pending passcode:        Ready
    Remote Console Protocol: SSH
    Host Address Security:   Disabled

    Host Address Security Table: EMPTY

Locate and run IPTool located on TruView Central. IPTool is an unsupported utility for use by Fluke Networks technical support.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Fluke Networks\Visual Performance Manager Server\iptool.exe

From iptool fetch any command for appflows or voip data by entering the passcode you have chosen in the previous step.
