Important Considerations

The Administration Console supports three levels of access:

One for only browsing or viewing (read)

One for configuring network parameters (write)

One for full system administration (administer)

When you log on for the first time, press Return or Enter at the password prompt because the initial passwords that are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the system are null for all access levels.

To change passwords, you must enter the Console at the administer access level.

The system does not display the password in the field as you type.

Set a password for each access level that you want to configure.
