3Com 5102B-EE Configuring the Bridge Module, Automatic Modem Hangup, Establishing Passwords

Note: Terminal values you set using the SET command are not saved permanently until you issue the SAVE TERMINAL command. Once the values are saved, if you log out or even if the power fails, the saved values are retained.

Automatic Modem Hangup

If you use a modem to connect to the Bridge Module,you may want to use the SET TERMINAL HANGUP command to hang up the modem connection automatically when you log out of the Bridge Module. The factory default is disable, which does not automatically hang up a modem. The following example shows the command used to automatically hang up the modem once you log out of the Bridge Module.

OEBM> set terminal hangup enable [ENTER]

Note: If you fail to hang up the modem connection, an unauthorized user may pick up the last login session.

Configuring the Bridge Module

Now that the terminal settings are complete, you can configure the Bridge Module in the concentrator. We recommend that you complete the following steps when you log in for the first time:

1.Establish passwords

2.Configure other Bridge Module parameters

3.Set Bridge Module SNMP values

Establishing Passwords

Bridge Management provides a password-protection capability that allows you to control access to certain commands and information. You must be in administrator mode to be able to change passwords. Note that when you first log in the default password is [ENTER]. This default password will provide you with administrator privileges.
