5-8 CHAPTER 5: ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT USING VT100

If you are logging on for the first time (after installation or initialization), use one of the default user names and passwords shown in the following table. The user name to use depends on which access level you require:

 

Default

 

User Name

Password

Access Level

monitor

monitor

Monitor — You can access but

 

 

not change the operational

 

 

parameters of the hub.

manager

manager

Manager — You can change the

 

 

operational parameters of the

 

 

hub but cannot add or delete

 

 

users, download software or

 

 

initialize the hub.

security

security

Security — You can access all

 

 

the screens and change all

 

 

manageable parameters.

At the earliest opportunity, the system manager should change the passwords for the default users. The system manager needs to log on as ‘manager’ and ‘monitor’ to change their passwords. For information on how to change a password, see “Editing Users” on page 5-18.

Initializing the hub returns the passwords to their default values.

If you are not logging on as one of the default users, your system manager has assigned you a user name and password. The user name determines which of the three access levels (monitor, manager or security) you have.

The user name and passwords are case sensitive. To log on to the facility, enter your user name and password in the appropriate fields and select OK. The Main Menu screen is displayed.
