System Passwords
The System Passwords window shown in Figure 7 on the following page, displays after clicking
on the P
asswords button in the Ethernet 1 and 2 configuration window, or the HSIM Local IP
Address window. The system passwords used by QuickSET are the same as the Community Names
of the device that are used in Local Management through a TELNET application. System
passwords allow you to control management access by establishing three passwords. Each
password controls a different level of access.
Once passwords are assigned, you must use the SuperUser System password at the User Password
prompt when initiating a QuickSET session. If you are configuring the device for the first time or if
no passwords are assigned, the default System password for each access level is preset
to public.
The following definitions explain the fields in the System Passwords window.
Read Only Access — This access level allows reading of device parameters not including
system passwords. Place the cursor in this field and type the new system password. Retype the
system password in the Confirm Password field below the Read Only Access field.
Read/Write Access — This access level allows editing of some device configuration parameters
not including changing system passwords. Place the cursor in this field and type the new system
password. Retype the system password in the Confirm Password field below the Read/Write
Access field.
QuickSET (SuperUser) — This access level allows full management privileges. Place the cursor
in this field and type the new system password. Retype the system password in the Confirm
Password field below the QuickSET (SuperUser) field.
!
CAUTION
If you edit the SuperUser system password, record it for safekeeping. If you lose this
password, you cannot perform management functions without returning the device to its
factory default configuration. This effectively erases any configuration work you may
have done.
