Your network administrator can change the Technician Interface prompt you
receive on a local or remote ASCII console or Telnet connection screen. For
instructions on how to change the Technician Interface login prompt you receive
on a local or remote ASCII terminal or console screen, see Chapter 2. For
instructions on how to change the Technician Interface login prompt you receive
on a remote Telnet screen, see Configuring TCP Services.
You enter Technician Interface commands after the colon (:) prompt, the dollar
sign ($) prompt, or whatever prompt your network administrator sets on the router
for console or Telnet access to the router.
You can also customize the Technician Interface Welcome screen with a message
appropriate for the requirements of your organization or network site. See
“Customizing the Technician Interface Welcome Message” in Chapter 8 for
instructions.
Login Timeout Guidelines
Keep the following in mind when you enter your login name (
User
or
Manager
)
and password:
• If you do not make an entry at the Login prompt for 1 minute (default), the
Technician Interface disconnects from the router.
• If you do not make an entry at the Password prompt for 1 minute (default), the
Technician Interface returns you to the Login prompt.
• If you enter your login name or password incorrectly three times (default), the
Technician Interface disconnects you from the router.
• If you do not make an entry at the SecurID prompt for 1 minute (default), the
Technician Interface returns you to the Login prompt.
• If you enter the SecurID PASSCODE incorrectly four times (default), the
SecurID client software disconnects you from the router and initiates
deactivation of your SecurID card account. You must request reactivation
from the SecurID administrator for your network.
