Logging Off
To log off, press Ctrl-X.
When the terminal stops responding to your keystrokes, you are logged
off.
Access Rights
The Solo E1 DSU supports Superuser or normal user access rights. The
Superuser has the highest priority.
Assigning User Passwords
It is important that you specify unique Superuser and normal user
passwords.
Two access methods to the Solo E1 DSU(s) are available (using a terminal
connected to the COMM port or a telnet connection from a remote
terminal). The security of your network depends on proper authorization:
¥ If you set only one password, both Superuser and user passwords
become the same.
¥ As Superuser, this user can gain exclusive control of the terminal
interface.
¥ A Òno passwordsÓ situation gives any user logging on Superuser access
rights. If any user sets one password, both passwords become the same
and are known only to that user. The result is one user gaining
exclusive control of the Solo E1 DSUs.
Setting Password Protection for the Terminal Interface
When you log on to the Solo E1 DSU for the Þrst time, set the Superuser
and the user password parameters (case-sensitive) in Menu-8 Alarm II.
NOTE: After a fifth unsuccessful attempt to log on, the Solo E1 DSU
closes the telnet connection. To clear the attempts, type Ctrl-X five
times, then start log on again.
NOTE: Digital Link recommends that you set both passwords.
