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.
You log in as a Manager or an Operator by entering the appropriate
password when you start an AT-S39 management session. The default
password for Manager access is “admin”. The default password for
Operator access is “friend”. The passwords are case-sensitive.
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 in Figure 7 is displayed.

3. To change the Manager password, type 1. To change the Operator
password, type 2. Follow the prompts. The password can be from 0 to
20 alphanumeric characters. The 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.
Note
The two passwords should be the different. If both passwords are
the same, the management software will always assume that you
want to log in as Manager.
4. You are prompted to enter the new password again.
