Accessing the Console System 2 - 13

Hardware: The Aironet Wireless Client will use the RTS and CTS

lines to control the ﬂow of characters. The Aironet Wireless Client

sends characters while RTS is high and will assert CTS when the

terminal is allowed to send. This mode is used for ﬂow control by

passing the Xon/Xoff characters. Make sure the DTR signal is also

present on the cable. See “Monitoring of the DTR Signal”.

Both: Uses both hardware and Xon/Xoff ﬂow control.

Setting Privilege Levels and Passwords (Rpassword, Wpassword)

You can restrict access to the menus by setting privilege levels and pass-

words. Privilege levels are set from the Main Menu. Passwords are set

from the Conﬁguration Console Menu.

There are three privilege levels contained in the Console Port:

n Logged Out Level (Off): Access denied to all sub-menus. Users are

only allowed access to the privilege and help options of the Main

Menu.

n Read-Only Level (Readonly): Read-only privileges for all sub-

menus. Only those commands that do not modify the conﬁguration

may be used.

n Read-Write Level (Write): Allows users complete read and write

access to all sub-menus and options.

Keep in mind the following when setting Privilege Levels and Pass-

words:

n Only Read-Only and Read-Write privilege levels can be password

protected.

n You can always go from a higher privilege level to a lower privilege

level without a password. If you try to go to a higher privilege level,

you will be required to enter the password.

n Passwords are upper/lower case sensitive.
