Chapter 3: Basic Switch Parameters
40 Section I: Using the Menus Interface
The Telnet UI idle time out parameter specifies the length of time a
remote Telnet management session can be inactive before the
management software automatically ends it. This feature prevents
unauthorized individuals from configuring the switch if you leave
your management workstation unattended.
This parameter applies to a local management session but not to a
remote SNMP or web management session. An SNMP
management session remains active as long as the network
management application is active. A web browser management
session remains active as long as your web browser is open.

b. Enter the current login password. The management software
prompts you for the password to prevent an unauthorized
individual from changing the login name.
c. Type the new user name and press Enter. The default name is
“manager.” The name can be from 0 to 12 characters. Spaces are
allowed. The login name is case sensitive. Not entering a new
login name deletes the current login name without assigning a new
one.
The new user name appears in the User Field in the top portion of
the menu. You must use the new login user name the next time
you start a local or web browser management session.
