6. Security and Logins

Controlling Asynchronous Terminal Access

Direct asynchronous terminal access to the menu-driven user interface can be limited by:

Requiring a login to the Communications port.

￿Assigning an access level to the port or interface.

See Configuring the Communication Port in Chapter 4, Configuration Options, for more information about COM port configuration options.

Procedure

To limit asynchronous terminal access to the user interface:

 

1. Select the Communication Port option.

Limit the access level

Port Access Level to: Level-2 or Level-3.

 

 

to Level-3 or Level-2

NOTE: A user cannot operate at a level higher than the

 

 

 

 

 

 

access level set for the port. Keep the access at Level-1 if

 

 

 

you are going to allow Level-1 users to configure the unit.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Save your changes.
