Black Box LRU4240 manual Configuring Access Rights, Assigning User Passwords

Dual Trunk E1 Router

2.Enter the Normal User or Super User password.

If you do not have a password, you may still connect. When connected, Menu 1 will appear.

NOTE: If your Dual Trunk E1 Router is set for dial-up mode, that is, using a modem and directly dialing through a standard telephone connection, it is recommended that you DO NOT use a Telnet session to access the unit.

CONFIGURING ACCESS RIGHTS

You can create two access levels to the Dual Trunk E1 Router terminal interface— Superuser access rights and normal user access rights— by entering unique Superuser and normal user passwords in Menu 8C - Miscellaneous Management Configuration.

Assigning User Passwords

Since two access methods are available (using a terminal connected to the COMM Port or a Telnet connection from a remote terminal), you should exercise caution when assigning passwords.

A “no passwords” situation gives any user logging on Superuser access rights. If this user sets only one password, both passwords become the same.

When both passwords are the same, any user logging on with either password gains Superuser rights. As Superuser, the individual has exclusive control of the terminal interface.

NOTE: You must set both passwords to prevent the above situations. Specify unique Superuser and Normal User passwords in Menu-8C.
