Using the Console Interface

7. Choose EXIT to exit this screen.

This method can also be used by a Super User to change another user’s
password.

Adding and Deleting Users

Access to the console, whether using the console port or via TELNET, is
controlled using a user name and password. Up to three of these user names
can be defined. The console interface will not let you delete the current
logged-in user, however, in order to prevent accidentally deleting all of the
users with Super User privilege.

Only users with the Super User privilege can add new and delete users.

Adding a New User

To add a new user:

1. Choose User Account Change from the main menu.
