Configuring the
Management
Passwords
There are two levels of management access on an AT-8000 Series 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.
The default password for Manager access is “friend”. The default
password for Operator access is “operator”. A password can be from 0 to
20 alphanumeric characters. Passwords are case-sensitive.
Caution
You should not use spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*)
and exclamation points (!), in a password if you will be managing the
switch from a web browser. Many web browsers cannot handle
special characters in passwords.
To change the Manager or Operator password, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 4 to select Administrator Menu.
2. From the Administrator Menu, type 7 to select Set Password.
The Passwords Menu is shown in Figure 7.

3. Type 1 to change the Manager password or type 2 to change the

4. Follow the prompts. You are asked to enter the new password twice.
The new password is automatically saved by the management
software. You do not need to use the Save Configuration Changes
menu selection to permanently save the new password.
