When Terminal security is enabled, the user should type in the word login to then be prompted for a username
and password before they will be allowed to access any commands available from Telnet. No welcome banner
will be displayed until a valid login is made. When the session is started, the user will see a login prompt as
seen below:
Login:
The user (Login) name is case sensitive. The username must be entered with the exact combination of upper
and lower letters as was assigned to them by the security administrator. The username must be at least 4
characters long and no more than 20 characters. Any combination of letters, numbers, or other characters may
be used.
The user would enter their username and then would be prompted for a password:
Login: User1
Password:
The password is case sensitive. The password must be entered with the exact combination of upper and lower
letters as was assigned to them by the security administrator. The password must be at least 4 characters long
and no more than 20 characters. Any combination of letters, numbers, or other characters may be used.
After the password is entered, if the password is correct you will see a welcome banner as shown below:
Login: User1
Password: *****

If the password is incorrect, the following will be displayed:
Login: User1
Password: *****
Login not authorized. Please try again.
After a delay, another login prompt will be displayed to allow the user to try again. If after 5 prompts, the login
is not done correctly the following will be displayed and the connection closed:
Login not allowed. Goodbye!
If a user opens a connection but does not enter a username or password (i.e. they just sit at a login prompt), the
connection will be closed after 1 minute.
Logout
The logout command will log the user out of the current secure telnet session. For a Terminal session, the user
will be logged out and to access Terminal commands again the user will first have to login.
Help Security
The help security command will display the security menu as shown previously.
The welcome banner is not displayed for Terminal sessions.
It is very important for a user properly execute the 'logout' command prior to
disconnecting from a Master. Simply removing the USB connector from the
Configuration Port maintains your logged-in status until you either return to logout via
a new session or reboot the target Master.
