36CHAPTER 1: ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

Accessing Your You access the Administration Console for your system in one of two System ways:

■For all systems except the CoreBuilder 9000 — Access the Administration Console for the first time at the Administer level and press Return at the password prompt (the initial password is null).

Subsequently, every time that you access the Administration Console, it prompts you for an access level and password, as shown here:

Select access level (read, write, administer):

Password:

The passwords are stored in nonvolatile (NV) memory. You must enter the password correctly before you can continue.

■For the CoreBuilder 9000 — On this system, the Enterprise Management Engine (EME) controls passwords and access levels to manage the chassis and its installed modules.

To access a module in a CoreBuilder 9000 system, follow these steps:

1Log in to the EME.

2Access the module that you want to manage using the EME connect command.

Example: To connect to a module in slot 10, subslot 1, enter:

connect 10.1

All modules use subslot 1.

The system displays a prompt similar to the following:

CB9000@slot10.1 [20-E/FEN-TX-L2]

When you have connected to a module, you manage the module from the Administration Console with the same level of access that you have on the EME. For example, if you have logged in to the EME with administer privileges, you also have administer privileges for the module to which you are connected.

For additional information about the EME, see the CoreBuilder 9000
