Paradyne 9128-II, CSU, DSU, 9126-II manual Communication Port Options 3, Inactivity Timeout

4. Configuration Options

Table 4-24. Communication Port Options (3 of 5)

Port Access Level

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

Default Setting: Level-1

Specifies level of user access privilege for an asynchronous terminal connected to the COM port. If a login is required for the port, the effective access level is determined by the user’s access level. When a login is not required, the effective access level is determined by this option.

NOTE: The effective access level is always the lowest one assigned to either the port or the user. For example, if the Port Access Level assigned is Level-2, but the User Access Level is Level-3, then only level-3 access will be permitted for the port.

Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Terminal.

Level-1– Allows full access and control of the device including monitoring, diagnostics, and configuration. The user can add, change, and display configuration options, and perform device testing.

CAUTION: Before changing the communication port’s access level to Level-2 or 3, make sure that either Telnet Session Access Level or the Modem Port’s Port Access Level is set top Level-1 and 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.

Level-2– Allows limited access and control of the device. The user can monitor and perform diagnostics, display status and configuration option information.

Level-3– Allows limited access with monitoring control only. The user can monitor and display status and configuration screens only.
