System basics
This section provides the basic step-by-step procedures you need to manage your
DEFINITY ECS. It explains how to log in and log off, set permissions for others
who use the administration terminal, set daylight savings rules, set date and time,
post messages, and back up the information you administer.

Logging into the system

You must log in before you can administer your system. If you are performing
remote administration, you must establish a remote administration link and
possibly assign the remote administration extension to a hunt group before you
log in. The members of this hunt group are the extensions of the data modules
available to connect to the system administration terminal. For information about
setting up remote administration, contact your Lucent representative.
NOTE:
Change your password frequently, at least once a month, to help keep
hackers out of your system. For instructions on how to change your
password, refer to ‘‘Changing passwords’’ on page 326.
When not using the system, log off for security purposes.
