4Select the required access level, depending on your specific access rights. A password entry request is displayed. Table 4-1 lists the default passwords for each of the access levels.

NOTE

Following three unsuccessful login attempts (using incorrect passwords), the monitor program is blocked for several minutes. To enable access to the monitor program during that time, the unit must be reset via SNMP or by disconnecting/reconnecting power.

If you forgot the password, type "h" at the Access Level selection prompt. Type “Recover” at the prompt to get a challenge string consisting of 8 characters. Contact Alvarion's Customer Service and give them the challenge string (after user identification) to receive a one-time password.

Aftering entering this password at the prompt, the unit will reboot with the default Administrator password (private). Three consecutive errors in entering the one-time password will invalidate it and block the monitor program. A new challenge string should be used to receive a new one-time password.

5Enter your password and press Enter. The Main Menu is displayed as shown in Figure 4-1. The unit type and location (if configured), SW version number and SW release date displayed in the Main Menu vary according to the selected unit and SW version.
