Software Release 4.1
Display-Only Access
The operator enters the same password in both Display-Only Access fields for verification. When
used, the display-only password allows only viewing activities on the module.
This protection interacts with the Full Access password protection as follows:
• If the display-only password is set and the Full Access password is not, then:
− The display-only password is tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module.
− Anyone who enters the display-only password can view or change activities. This
configuration is not recommended.
• If the Full Access password is also set, then the Full Access password is tied to
telnet and FTP sessions.
• If the display-only password is not set and the Full Access password is, then no
password is required to view activities on the module.
• If neither password is set, then anyone can view or change activities. This
configuration is not recommended.
If the operator-assigned Display-Only Access password is forgotten, then the operator must both:
1. physically access the module.
2. use an override plug to electronically access the module configuration parameters at
169.254.1.1. See Overriding IP Address and Password Setting on Page 73.
Full Access
The operator enters the same Full Access password in both fields for verification. When used, the
Full Access password
• allows both viewing and change activities on the module.
• is tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module.
When the web-based interface prompts for this password, no user name is required. However,
when a telnet or FTP session prompts for this password, the user name root must be entered in
addition to the password.
If the operator-assigned Full Access password is forgotten, then the operator must both
1. physically access the module.
2. use an override plug to electronically access the module configuration parameters at
169.254.1.1. See Overriding IP Address and Password Setting on Page 73.
NOTE: The operator can unset either password (revert the access to no password required).
To do so, the operator types a space into the field and reboots the module. Any password must
be entered twice to allow the system to verify that that the password is not mistyped. After any
password is set and a reboot of the module has occurred, a Password Set indicator appears
to the right of the field.
Webpage Auto Update
The operator enters the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the
web-based interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to
never be automatically refreshed.
