The three access levels are supervisor, operator, and observer.
In the default configuration, the supervisor access level is allowed complete access to all of the
9145E’s features including configuring the 9145E’s security system. The operator access level is
allowed access to the 9145E features except those relating to the 9145E’s security system. This
level can be configurable by the administrator.
The observer access level is allowed access to the 9145E features that do not modify the
9145E’s configuration. This level can be configurable by the administrator. Feature Access Level
Configuration The assignment of access levels has a default configuration built into the 9145E.
Creating and downloading a text file called 9145e.cap to the 9145E can change this assignment,
however. This file contains mappings between module features and the access level required to
access the feature. As an example the entry that controls access to the Maximum Frame Size
setting looks like:
maxFrameSize=operator
This entry indicates that to change the Maximum Frame Size, a user’s account must have
operator access level or greater.
This 9145e.cap file is downloaded to the 9145E via the normal FTP/SFTP/TFTP in the same
manner as downloading a firmware file to the 9145E. The same file may be downloaded to
multiple 9145E's to ensure that each is following the same security rules.
