In the default configuration, the supervisor access level is allowed complete access to all of the
9145E10G’s features including configuring the 9145E10G’s security system. The operator
access level is allowed access to the 9145E10G features except those relating to the
9145E10G’s security system. This level can be configurable by the administrator.

The observer access level is allowed access to the 9145E10G features that do not modify the
9145E10G’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
9145E10G. Creating and downloading a text file called 9145E.cap to the 9145E10G 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 Maxi-
mum Frame Size setting looks like: maxFrameSize=operator

This entry indicates that to change the Maximum Frame Size, a user’s account must have opera-
tor
access level or greater.

This 9145E.cap file is downloaded to the 9145E10G via the normal FTP/SFTP/TFTP in the same
manner as downloading a firmware file to the 9145E10G. The same file may be downloaded to
multiple 9145E10G's to ensure that each is following the same security rules.
