Accessing Local Management

NOTES

A user’s password is one of the Community Names specified in the SNMP Community Names screen. Access to certain Local Management capabilities depends on the degree of access accorded that Community Name. Refer to Section 5.8.

If an invalid password is entered, the terminal beeps and the cursor returns to the beginning of the password entry field.

When entering a valid password, the associated access level displays at the bottom of the screen and the Main Menu screen displays.

If no activity occurs for several minutes, the Password screen reappears and the session ends.
