CHAPTER 4: CONSOLE FEATURES 41
• Password: Authentication password; alphanumeric text, 6 – 16 characters in length (mandatory)
• Ports: List of ports that the user can access; by default, Administrators are given access to all ports,
and can assign ports to Operators and Observers
• Configure Idle Session Timeout: Idle session timeout (default value 5 minutes): Set a timeout value
between 0 and 999 minutes for idle sessions; system-wide parameter that applies to all users and
sessions via web-browser, SSH/telnet. A value of zero means NO timeout. We recommend using the
shortest reasonable timeout value.
Add a New User
Only an Administrator can create a new Administrator, Operator, or Observer. New users’ records are valid
only after the configuration is saved, and users can change their passwords after the first time they log on.
