The option of complete device configuration via command line is said to considerably accelerate automated configuration processes: parameterising several devices at once is much faster and easier using the command line interface (CLI) than via web configuration.

For increased IT security requirements, CLI also enables automated periodic checks for any changes to the configuration or manipulations. Supporting the RADIUS authentication service, the de facto standard for central authentication and access rights management, the current firmware offers another security-related feature.

For sending emails, it now provides an encrypted connection to the email provider (SSL/TLS authentication). Four days after it became known, INSYS had already fixed the “heartbleed” security risk in OpenSSL for its devices with the patch 2.12.1.
