Paradyne JetFusion Integrated Access Device manual Changing the User Level User ID

Changing the User Level User ID

To change the user ID for the User security level (the only security level that allows the user ID to be changed), follow these steps:

1.On the Main menu, type 8 (Configure Login) to display the Password Configuration menu.

2.Type 1 to change the user ID for the User security level.

Enter new User ID (up to 17 characters) >

3.Type the new User ID and press Enter. The IAD informs you that the user ID has been updated.

4.Reset the IAD (page 14).

Including User ID and Passwords in Config Files

If you create master configuration files for distribution to multiple IADs, you may include the userid and passwords directly in the configuration file to reduce configuration tasks.

NOTE When the user ID and passwords are stored in a configuration file, the IAD saves the configuration file immediately upon rebooting, without requiring the log on process. The userid and passwords are stripped from the configuration file before saving to prevent a security risk.

Using a text editor, update the config file by adding the following attributes in the [user] category:

userid={string}

password={string}

netman-password={string}

support-password={string}

The password parameter is for user level access; netman-password is for network administrator level access; and support-password is for supervisor level access.
