Details of selected commands:
Security Options (SO): This command is used to configure GSP users and passwords.
The default configuration is no users are configured. All connections to the GSP have
administrator capability.
The first user configured is created as administrator. Once created, several console
mirroring rules will come into play. For example if an administrator is logged on, then an
operator capable user can’t log on till the administrator disconnects. If an administrator is
connected via the GSP LAN port, no access (not even ^B) is allowed on the local console
until the administrator disconnects.
If the administrator password is lost, then the user configuration in the GSP must be
cleared via a rear panel reset button. The user configuration is cleared by pushing the
reset button and then responding to a prompt on the local console within 30 seconds. If the
prompt is not answered, then the user configuration is retained.
GSP users can be configured for DIAL-BACK access. This means that when that user logs
on to the GSP through the remote port, the GSP will hang up and dial that user back at a
configured phone number.
Power Control and Status(PC, PS) Allow the user to switch system power ON or OFF.
This is almost like turning the system power off at the front panel switch. This will work
as long as the real front panel switch is left in the ‘ON’ position.
Paging parameters (PG): This feature is able to generate a paging message based on the
chassis codes that arrive in the GSP. This requires a modem to be connected to the remote
port and to be properly configured. On receipt of the appropriate level of alert, the GSP will
dial a configured number to send an alpha-numeric page. Part of the alpha-numeric pager
message is the string configured in this command, describing the alert level that caused
the page.
Upgrade the GSP Firmware (XU): The upgrade is performed using ftp over the GSP
LAN. The command provides a dialog that contains a default IP address and anonymous
ftp logon to a server where the upgrade files reside. The user can override this location if
the files have been copied to a more local server. This command can only be run from the
local console port.
