Table 5-3. Users Menu Options
Users (Configure Account) A-D-A
Gives the user the ability to add, edit, or delete a user from a system account and to edit
user passwords and privileges. Up to 10 active users can be supported.
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.
If no accounts are set up, then no login or password is required to gain entry to the
system via the terminal interface or telnet.
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.
If you configure an account on the MCC card, you have privileges on both the MCC and
DSL cards.
If you configure an account on the DSL card, you only have privileges for that specific
DSL card and only via a Telnet session.
Action – Add/Edit/Delete.
Login ID – Enter your Login ID.
Password – Enter the password associated with the login ID.
Repeat Password – Re-enter the password.
Privilege – Operator/Administrator. Enter Operator for read-only access; enter
Administrator for complete system access.
NOTE: Use Ctrl-v to see a list of all user accounts at the Login ID prompt.
