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.
