IAD Security

To maintain IAD security, the IAD provides multi-level login access using a single user ID and password, which you can set at the following levels:

￿User

￿Network Administrator

￿Supervisor

The user ID at the User security level may be modified, but the user ID at the Network Administrator and Supervisor level may not be modified.

The password for each security level may be changed. Although you may use the same password for all security levels, Paradyne recommends that you use a different one for each level. Table 3–2lists the privileges available at each security level.

Table 3–1. Security Level Privileges

Privileges

This user level is the highest level. Users who log in as Supervisor have full access to all IAD features (menu and command line interface, including changing User security level user ID and any level passwords, plus complete IAD configuration capability.

This user may perform tasks that alter the network settings of the IAD, plus has access to all of the data networking configuration menus, and can update routing and bridging information and status.

This user can change this level password, and the User level user ID and password, and has access to all display-only menus.

This user may not modify WAN or LAN settings, alter derived timing, use command line interface, or modify voicepath settings.

This user has access to display-only menus, and may view the current configuration, interface and media statistics, routing and bridging information and status. This user may change this level user ID and password. This user may not make or save any changes to the configuration of the IAD.

To maintain IAD security, a user with Supervisor privileges should modify the User security level user ID and passwords for both User level and Network Administrator level prior to placing the IAD into production.
