•Password—Type the user password. The password must be a minimum of six and a maximum of

20 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and special (+, #, %) characters, where at least two characters are nonalphabetic and at least one character is a special character. The password must not contain the user name.

•Confirm Password—Type the password again to confirm it.

•Security Level—Choose a security level for the user: RETRIEVE, MAINTENANCE, PROVISIONING, or SUPERUSER. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for information about the capabilities provided with each level.

Note Each security level has a different idle time. The idle time is the length of time that CTC can remain idle before the password must be reentered. The defaults are: Retrieve user = unlimited, Maintenance user = 60 minutes, Provisioning user = 30 minutes, and Superuser = 15 minutes. To change the idle times, refer to the “NTP-D205 Modify Users and Change Security” procedure on page 12-25.

Step 4 Click OK.

Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
