Configuring the Manager and Operator Passwords
There are two levels of management access on an AT-8524M switch:
manager and operator. When you log in as a 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.
To change the Manager or Operator password, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 194 on page 586.
2. In the Passwords section, enter the new values. The parameters are
described below.
Manager Password
Manager Confirm Password
These parameters are used to change the manager’s login
password for the switch. The password can be from 0 to 16
characters in length. The same password is used for both local and
remote management sessions. To create a new password, enter
the new password into both fields. The default password is
“friend”. The password is case-sensitive.
Caution
You should not use spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*)
and exclamation points (!), in a password. Many web browsers
cannot handle special characters in passwords.
Operator Password
Operator Confirm Password
These parameters are used to change the operator’s login
password for the switch. The password can be from 0 to 16
characters in length. The same password is used for both local and
remote management sessions. To create a new password, enter
the new password into both fields. The default password for
operator is “operator”. The password is case-sensitive.
