Sometimes, you will come cross installers that would like to SSH into a Diamond recorder either because they want to see the inner workings of the DVR/NVR, they want to change some stuff in there that they think would benefit them.
SSH or sometimes called "Telnetting'" is a network protocol that lets you access a computer securely over an unsecured network. Typical applications include remote command line, login, and remote command execution, but any network service can be secured by using SSH.
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/meminfo
cat /proc/devices
cat /proc/net-dev
cat /proc/uptime

So if a recorder's password is for example ENS12345, you should type the password as such,
The command should let you enter protective shell.
