Abstract: A method by a network device to restrict access to a management interface, where the management interface is defined by a data model, and where the network device is provided by an equipment provider to an equipment operator for use by the equipment operator. The method includes receiving a first request from a management system to perform a first management operation that involves accessing a module of the data model, where the first request specifies a security credential as a key for a security wrapper defined by the module, and where the security credential is supplied to the management system by the equipment provider and is inaccessible to the equipment operator, verifying whether the security credential specified by the first request is valid, and performing the first management operation in response to verifying that the security credential specified by the first request is valid.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an endoscopic training system and method for the development of endoscopic procedure skills and technical competency of an endoscopist. The system includes a portable part-task enclosure with a plurality of walls defining an internal chamber. One of the walls includes an access port coupling the internal chamber to an external environment and the access port can be configured to facilitate the passage of a flexible endoscope insertion member. The system further includes a plurality of objects disposed within the internal chamber. Each of the plurality of objects is configured for manipulation by a medical tool that extends through the flexible endoscope insertion member.
