4 Operation
Introduction
You can operate the MR9600 by using the front panel indicators for information (see Chapter 6). But if you install the optional MultiCommManager software, you can operate the MR9600 by running windows- based menu and command functions from a dedicated management console (refer to the MultiCommManager’s User Guide).
Security
The MR9600 has a security system to prevent unauthorized system modification by Telnet, Web browser, or FTP users who access the system via the TCP/IP network or the diagnostic serial port on the back of the CC9600 chassis. SNMP and MultiCommManager software security is accomplished by selecting SNMP read and write community strings.
There are three levels of security: guest, operator, and supervisor. There are default user IDs and passwords for each level (see following table).
| Supervisor | Operator | Guest |
Security Level | Can perform all | Can perform non- Can only view information | |
| management | destructive |

| commands | management |

Default User ID | supervisor | operator | guest |
Default Password | supervisor | operator | guest |

Once you are logged in, you can change your user ID and password by using the commands userid to change your user ID, and passwd to change your password (see Chapter 5).
File System
The MR9600 stores configuration, security, and event information in files. There are two drives on the system: A and B. The A drive is used for nonvolatile information such as configuration and security database files, and is about 1 MB in size. The B drive is for volatile information such as event files, and is about 6.5 MB in size. Each drive has an MMM directory on it. A:\MMM stores all configuration information for the system. B:\MMM\MR.LOG contains all of the event files for the system. The file system can be accessed either through the command line interface or by using FTP.
Event Files
One event file is created for each hour in the format MMDDHHYY.HR, where MM is the month, DD is the day, HH is the hour, and YY is the last two digits of the year. When the drive fills up, the oldest .HR file is deleted. The number of events your MR9600 will hold depends on the number of calls you receive in a day. Event files can be FTPed from the MR9600 and analyzed using the Statistical Analyzer, which is part of the MultiCommManager software.
