Levels of Access
There are two levels of privileges on the Hotwire DSL system. Your user accounts
can be configured with a user name, password, and privilege of:
Administrator
. The Administrator has complete read/write access to the DSL
system. With Administrator permission, you can set specific parameters and
variables to configure cards, ports, interfaces, VNID bridging, and endpoint
selection.
Operator
. The Operator has read-only access and can view configuration
information and monitor performance but has no configuration menu access or
modification permission.
The default access is no login and password with Administrator status. To provide
login security to the DSL system, user accounts must be configured.
NOTE:
There must be at least one Administrator configured in order to have system
security.
For information on configuring user accounts, see the
Hotwire Management
Communications Controller (MCC) Card, IP Conservative, User’s Guide.
User Login Screen
You can log in to the Hotwire DSL system using either a local VT100-compatible
terminal or a remote Telnet connection. However, the Hotwire DSL system accepts
only one login session at a time.
NOTE:
The User Login screen only appears if one or more users have been defined
on the MCC.
At the User Login screen, enter your login ID and password. You must wait until
your login is verified, anywhere from two seconds to 12 minutes. If you have
RADIUS Authentication, this verification takes some time while each RADIUS
server is contacted one at a time.
If you are denied access during a Telnet session, the session stops and an error is
logged. If you are using a console, return to the User Login screen.
NOTE:
If you forget your password, contact your Technical Service Center. Have the
serial number of the MCC card available, and the service representative will
provide you with a password.
