User parameters

The following parameter descriptions are applicable for the parameters for

both eWEB and eCONFIG users.

• User ID

This is the username that must be entered in the login dialog box.

Maximum length is ten characters. Nortel recommends that you create

a user profile for each user who has access to the eWEB interface.

Sharing user profiles can result in unauthenticated users, which

generates alarms.

• Password

This field contains a password with a maximum length of ten

characters. Users can change their own password using the eWEB

interface. You can create new users with default passwords (for

example, the same as the user identifier), and request that the users

change their password at first usage.

Note: Passwords are stored without encryption in the DECT

Messenger structure. Therefore, hackers can retrieve authentication

information from the system. Also, table information can be

made available through eWEB (depending on your configuration).

Because the security mechanism is limited, Nortel recommends that

you not use any passwords that are used on other systems that

contain secured information. Using identical passwords across both

secured and less-secured environments leads to severe security

exposure. Inform all users of this issue.

•

Security level

You can use the security level parameter to define a number in the

range of 00–99. The higher the number, the more authority a user is

given. The value 99 is the highest level which gives full access to all

menu items, and allows read and edit. This value can be assigned to

top-level administrators. The value 00 is the lowest possible value.

Nortel recommends that you limit the number of initially assigned

values to 2 or 3 levels, and handle increments by 10. Good start

values are 20 for low-end users, 40 for mid-range users, and 60 for

administrators. As you become familiar with user patterns, a more

granular level of security can be defined for users.

Note 1: The level is related to the values specified in the table of

contents of the eWEB module where a read and edit threshold level

is assigned to each individual menu. For example, a user with level

20 can execute all the functions with level 00 up to 20.

Note 2:

In the eCONFIG, the level thresholds for the menus are

fixed. For all menus, the read level threshold is 10, and the edit

level threshold is 30.
