4. Configuration Options
4-98
September 2002 9128-A2-GB20-80
Port Access Level
Possible Settings: Level-1, Level-2, Level-3
Default Setting: Level-1
Specifies level of user access privilege for an asynchronous terminal connected to the
COM port. If a login is required for the port, the effective access level is determined by the
user’s access level. When a login is
not
required, the effective access level is determined
by this option.
NOTE: The effective access level is always the lowest one assigned to either the port
or the user. For example, if the Port Access Level assigned is Level-2, but the User
Access Level is Level-3, then only level-3 access will be permitted for the port.
Display Conditions
– This option only appears when Port Use is set to Terminal.
Level-1 – Allows full access and control of the device including monitoring, diagnostics,
and configuration. The user can add, change, and display configuration options, and
perform device testing.
CAUTION: Before changing the communication port’s access level to Level-2 or 3,
make sure that either Telnet Session Access Level or the Modem Port’s Port Access
Level is set top Level-1 and at least one Login ID is set to Level-1. Otherwise, access
will be lost. If this occurs, you must reset the unit to the factory defaults and begin the
configuration process again.
Level-2 – Allows limited access and control of the device. The user can monitor and
perform diagnostics, display status and configuration option information.
Level-3 – Allows limited access with monitoring control only. The user can monitor and
display status and configuration screens only.
