MIX 56 User Manual 4 Software Operation

ACCESSING THE CRAFT INTERFACE

Each MIX 56 chassis houses two independent systems. When you access the Craft interface, whether through an Ethernet port on the rear or a Craft port on the front, your actions affect only the system on the same side of the chassis as the port to which you connected. The system on the other side is completely unaffected.

Setting Security

You can restrict access to the MIX 56 by setting security to On. When secu- rity is on, the Log In screen is the first screen that appears when a Craft in- terface session is initiated. Users must type their user ID and password to access any other screens and perform any other functions. When security is set to Off, the Directory screen is the first screen that appears1, and all screens are accessible to anyone.

There are three levels of security a user can be assigned:

•Admin Rd/Wr where the user has full access to the MIX 56.

•Config/Test where the user has access to Screens 6 and 7 to Configure the DS3 and DS1 lines. The user also has access to Screens 19 and 20 to conduct loopback and BER testing.

•Read Only where the user can read all screens but has no rights to change anything.

NOTE

The default user ID is “TELECT” and the default password is “TELECT.” They are stored in slot 1 of the Security screen upon first power-up and can be overwritten.

ALERT

ALERT! Do not set the Security field to On without at least one valid user ID and password in the system. Once security is on, you cannot access the Craft interface without a user ID and password. See “Managing Users” on page 4-10.

1.If the date and time have never been entered since power on, then the date and time screen will be the first screen that appears.
