Accessing the DSL Router

Changing Access Session Levels

HYou can change the Administrator access level by entering:

admin enable

This command provides Administrator access level privileges. The DSL router will respond with a prompt to enter the password for Administrator access.

HYou can end the Administrator access level by entering: admin disable

This command results in ending the Administrator access level session. No password is needed.

Entering exit has the same results. Refer to Exiting from the System on page 2-5 for further details on ending a session.

The Operator and Administrator have the same Login ID with different passwords for their access level. To determine the level of access for a session, refer to Determining the Current Access Level on page 2-4.

Local Console Access

The DSL router ships with the local console enabled. After login, the local console can be disabled with the command console disable. After saving this change and ending the session, there is no local access through the console port. Any access must be through a Telnet session or the NMS.

NOTE:

Entering console disable results in NO local access to the DSL router.

If you attempt to log in, you will receive an error message.

To determine via a Telnet session if a console is enabled, enter:

show console

The display returned for the show console command will be:

Hconsole enabled ± Command line management at the console is available, or

Hconsole disabled ± No command line management is available at the console.

For steps to set up the new user's login, refer to Setting Up the New User's Login on page 2-3.
