IAD
Security
To maintain IAD security, the IAD provides multi-level login access using a
single user ID and password, which you can set at the following levels:
User
Network Administrator
Supervisor
The user ID at the User security level may be modified, but the user ID at
the Network Administrator and Supervisor level may not be modified.
The password for each security level may be changed. Although you may
use the same password for all security levels, Verilink recommends that
you use a different one for each level. Table 3–2 lists the privileges
available at each security level.
To maintain IAD security, a user with Supervisor privileges should modify
the User security level user ID and passwords for both User level and
Network Administrator level prior to placing the IAD into production.
