Paradyne 9783 manual Telnet and FTP Session Options 2, Inactivity Timeout, Disconnect Time Minutes

Configuration Options

Table 4-14. Telnet and FTP Session Options (2 of 3)

Session Access Level

Possible Settings: Level-1, Level-2, Level-3

Default Setting: Level-1

Specifies the highest security level allowed when accessing the menu-driven user interface via a Telnet session. If a login is required for the session, the effective access level is also determined by the user's access level. When a login is not required, the effective access level is determined by this option. This option does not affect the TS Access Management Link.

NOTE: The effective access level is always the lowest one assigned to either the session or the user. For example, if the assigned Session Access Level is Level-2, but the User Access Level is Level-3, then only level-3 access is allowed for the session.

Level-1± Allows Telnet access by users with Login ID access levels of 1, 2, and 3, with the capability to view system information, change configuration options, and run tests. This is the highest access level allowed.

CAUTION: Before changing the session access level to Level-2 or 3, make sure that the COM port's Port Access Level is set to Level-1 and that at least one Login ID is set to Level-1. Otherwise, access will be lost. If this occurs, you must reset the unit to the factory defaults and begin the configuration process again. A reset is required if the Communication Port's Port Use option is set to Net Link (see Table 4-4,General System Options).

Level-2± Allows Telnet access by users with Login ID access levels of 1, 2, and 3, with the capability to view system information and run tests only; they cannot change configuration options.

Level-3± Allows Telnet access by users with Login ID access levels of 1, 2, and 3, with the capability to view system information only; they cannot change configuration options or run tests.
