router will respond with a prompt to enter the password for Administrator
access.

page 2-5 for further details on ending a session.

The Operator and Administrator have the same Login ID with different passwords
for their access level. To determine the level of access for a session, refer to

Determining the Current Access Level

on page 2-4.

Local Console Access

The DSL router ships with the local console enabled. After login, the local console
can be disabled with the command

console disable

. After saving this change

and ending the session, there is no local access through the console port. Any
access must be through a Telnet session or the NMS.

NOTE:

Entering

console disable

results in NO local access to the DSL router.

If you attempt to log in, you will receive an error message.

To determine via a Telnet session if a console is enabled, enter:

show console

The display returned for the show console command will be:

H

console enabled

– Command line management at the console is

available, or

H

console disabled

– No command line management is available at the

console.
