DLP-005
Perform Steps Below in the Order Listed
1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using either the ETHERNET, CONTROL IN, or CRAFT interfaces.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s CONTROL IN or CRAFT interfaces (either with a
VT100 compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software), follow the procedure in
DLP-001.
Alternately, if the unit is part of a management cluster connected to the local network, you may use a
PC connected to the network to Telnet into the unit. Use the procedures in DLP-003 and
DLP-004 to connect to the ETHERNET interface.
2. Login to the unit.
Login to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-002 for details).
3. Go to the SYSTEM CONFIG menu and select the ACCESS PASSWORDS menu and press <Enter>.
4. To add a new user profile and password, select the first column (0) and press I (for insert).
5. Give the new user profile a name by selecting the LABEL field, pressing <Enter> and typing the user
defined name.
6. Personalize the password for the appropriate label by selecting the PASSWORD field, pressing <Enter>,
then typing the desired password.
7. Determine the password level for the corresponding label.
The ATLAS 550 contains six different password levels. The table below gives a brief description of
each level.
8. Assign the password level to the appropriate label by selecting the ACCESS RIGHTS field and choosing
the level decided upon in Step 7.
Passwords for the ATLAS 550 system are case sensitive. The default password for a new user profile is
“password”. The current password displays as a series of asterisks (********).
