Paradyne 8546, 8540 manual Overview, MCC User Accounts For Telnet Terminal Access to MCC Card

Checklist for Setting Up User

Accounts on the MCC and DSL Cards

A

Overview

User accounts provide security for the DSLAM by requiring that anyone who is trying to log onto the system has a valid password to gain access. User accounts on the MCC provide security to users accessing the system from the VT100-compatible terminal interface and via Telnet over the management domain LAN.

It is recommended that user accounts also be set up for each DSL card, even if you do not intend to telnet directly to the DSL cards, so that no unauthorized telnet sessions can be made. Each card will support up to 10 user accounts with either Operator (read only) or Administrator (read/write) permissions.
