Configuring the Manager and Operator Passwords
There are two levels of management access on an AT-8500 Series switch:
manager and operator. When you log in as manager, you can view and
configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an
operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot
change any values.
You log in as a manager or an operator by entering the appropriate
username and password when you start an AT-S62 management
session. The default password for manager access is “friend”. The default
password for operator access is “operator”. Passwords are case-sensitive.
