User Access

There are two modes of access to the user interface: READ-ONLY and
READ/WRITE. READ-ONLY access allows you to view switch
information, but not modify any operating parameters. READ/WRITE
access allows you to both read and modify switch information. You are
required to login with a password before obtaining READ/WRITE access.
If no password is entered (press only the [Enter] key), you are logged in
with READ-ONLY access.

No password is configured in the factory

default settings, allowing full READ/WRITE access until a password is
set.

To use the console menus, do the following:

1.

Type the letter associated with the desired option.

If the selected item is a submenu title, the submenu is displayed
when you enter the letter.

2.

Enter the parameter requested by the screen prompt.

If the selected item is a parameter, the system displays a prompt for
the entry of a new parameter value. If the value entered is invalid, a
beep sounds, or a message displays, requesting you to enter a valid
value.
