NIC Security

There are TCP access lists available to restrict host connections with the device.

Users And Passwords

By default, the NIC supports two logical user types:

root Access to everything within the print server including all configurable settings.

guest Ability to list settings only.

Using set commands, other users can be created.

Passwords can be set for each user type. However, most often you would just set a password for the root user to protect the NIC configuration. Guest users cannot alter the print server configuration in any way.

You can configure a root password on your NIC using either Telnet or a Web browser as follows:

	Telnet
	Using Telnet, set a root password by entering the following commands.
	Syntax:
	set user passwd username password
	save
	Example:
	set user passwd root your_password_for_root
	save
Note	If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the user ID
	and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by
	default.
