Telnet Tiered Access – Two Password Levels
Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 offers tiered access control for greater security and protection against accidental or malicious misconfiguration. Service providers and network administrators can now limit the access of other users to the various configuration screens to prevent misconfigurations.
The access privileges of various users that may be assigned are governed by a Superuser administrative account. The Superuser can assign different privileges to Limited users who will be accessing the gateway functions in some way.
Configuration access names and passwords are specified in the Security Options screen. From the Main Menu, select System Configuration, then Security.
