Setting Up Pipeline Security
Pipeline Security profiles
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 7-9
When Edit Security=No, all passwords are hidden by the string
“*SECURE*.”
•Edit System
If Edit System=Yes, users can edit the System profile and other system-wide
settings.
• Field Service
If Field Service=Yes, users can perform field service operations, such as
uploading new system software to the Pipeline unit. Field service operations
are special diagnostic routines not available through Pipeline menus.
For complete information on each parameter, see the Reference Guide.
Using the Full Access profile
The Full Access profile should be reserved for the super-user login: yourself and
anyone else who will be reconfiguring the Pipeline, testing lines, dialing remote
locations, resetting the unit, and upgrading system software.
Note:
Be sure you write down the new Full Access password and store it in a
safe place. If you restrict all other levels and then forget the Full Access
password, you will need to call Customer Support to access the unit.
The default settings for the Full Access profile are as follows:
Name=Full Access
Passwd=Ascend
Note:
You should change this default password, as described in
“Recommended security measures” on page 7-1
Operations=Yes
Edit Security=Yes
Note:
Do not turn off the Edit Security privilege, or you will be unable to
edit privileges when Full Access is activated!
Edit System=Yes
Field Service=Yes
When you log into the Pipeline, you will only be able to view settings, because
the Default profile will be active. To make any changes or perform any
administrative tasks, you need to activate the Full Access profile in the DO menu.
