Correct, but I don't need to have access on per channel basis. > 2. ring-cadence detect is done on the first ring after the 1204 reboot > and applied to all four ports.

I believe that you can actually change that, you have to specify time in ms not a number of rings. > 3. security is less then acceptable.
