How to Use the System

This chapter describes the way you interact with the system using the System Administration Terminal (SAT). First, it tells you how to log in to System 25. Then, how to use the Main Menu to access areas of the system you want to administer. Next, it tells you how to view and change the way your system operates by entering administration commands. Finally, it describes the kinds of warning, error, and text messages the system supplies.

Logging In to System 25

System Security

For security reasons, access to the administration capabilities of AT&T System 25 is controlled by a password. Your password is available from your AT&T Account Team. If you want to change your password, see the instructions under Administering System-Wide Options.

To prevent an unauthorized person from learning the password, the password characters are not displayed when they are entered.

If system security is not a problem, because access to the SAT and to this manual are restricted, you may want to write your password here for convenience:

Entering Your Password

After you turn on the SAT, you see the following prompt:

Enter Password- >

If you do not see this prompt, press (Return)

Enter your password followed by (Return)

Invalid Password Entry

If you enter an invalid password, you see an error message followed by the password prompt:

That is not the password!

Enter Password- >

Successful Log-in

When you enter the correct password, the terminal displays the Main Menu from which you can select administration functions.

Leaving an Administration Session

When you complete an administration session, or if you want to interrupt a session at any point, just turn off the terminal.
