Password Protection
Tsunami Multipoint provides two levels of password protection:
▪ user level – lets the user display the system’s current status only.
▪ admin level – lets the user display the system’s status and change its configuration.
The default password is “null.” Password protection for either password level (user or admin) can be
turned on and off. By default, password protection is turned off.
Passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters; any combination of alphanumeric characters is allowed,
except for these special characters: " , . ’ ‘ ^ { } | \ / ; : ] [ ( )
If you forget your password, contact Proxim’s Customer Service department to obtain a new one. See
“Appendix F. Technical Support and Training” on page 76 for Proxim’s contact information.
Specifying a User-Level Password
To define the user-level password, from the BSU console enter:
setpw user<oldpw><newpw><newpw>
where:
<oldpw> = the old password (the default password is “null”)
<newpw> = the new password
After defining the new user-level password, enter logout. Log in with the new password (see Logging In
on page 47 for information).
Specifying an Admin-Level Password
To define the admin-level password, from the BSU console, enter:
setpw admin<oldpw><newpw><newpw>
where:
<oldpw> = the old password (the default password is “null”)
<newpw> = the new password
After defining the new admin-level password, enter logout. Log in with the new password.
Note: If you specify either level of password without specifying a password for the other level, when you log out or
restart the BSU, the system comes up in password-protected mode. Log in and enter the password you
specified. For example, if you specify “admin” for the admin-level password and then log out or restart the
BSU, enter login admin to access the system. This allows access to the admin-level.
