DMINISTRATION

This chapter describes how to control security to your IAD, validate users
using a RADIUS Server, configure SNMP via IP or AAL2 Embedded
Operations Channel (EOC), upgrade IAD software, and perform other general
and utility-oriented tasks.

NOTICE:

When the IAD prompts you for input, the current value is displayed in
parentheses. To conveniently accept the current value, just press Enter.

IAD Security

NOTICE:

After setting IAD Security parameters, you must reset the IAD
(page 2-8)
for the new settings to take effect.

To maintain IAD security, the IAD provides multi-level login access using a
single user ID and password, which you can set at the following levels:

User

Network Administrator

Supervisor

The user ID at the User security level may be modified, but the user ID at the
Network Administrator and Supervisor levels may not.

The password for each security level may be changed. Although you may use
the same password for all security levels, Verilink recommends that you use a
different one for each level. The table below lists the privileges available at
each security level.
