If a login prompt is displayed after the power-on initialization, the system software was preinstalled.
Complete the login:
1. The login controls which class of commands the user can access. Each access level (guest or
administrator) is protected by a unique login password. This allows managers to assign
different responsibility levels to their system users. Enter the following login:
admin
Note: When using off-node authentication , administration access level actually supports up to
101 different login names, from admin and admin00 to admin99. These different login
names must be configured on the off-node server in order to function properly. For
local administration access, only the guest and the singular admin login access levels are
valid.
2. All preinstalled systems are preconfigured with the same password. This is the password that
is used the first time a login occurs. Using all lowercase letters, enter the preconfigured
password as shown below:
admin
3. It is recommended that the preconfigured password be changed to a user-defined password.
To do this, enter the following command at the system prompt:
pswd
Follow the prompts to change the current password. A password must be a 3 to 16 nonblank
character string. Passwords are uppercase and lowercase sensitive.
Note: User-level security is not available at time of initial installation and configuration.
However, once this option is configured, you will have additional security steps before
establishing an administrative session. Refer to
Responding to LOGIN Prompts in the
Configuring Security Level chapter for more information.
If a DOS prompt is displayed after the power-on initialization, the software has not been preinstalled.
You must first boot up with diskette # 1 before continuing:
1. Insert software diskette # 1 into the system diskette drive.
2. Reboot the CyberSWITCH.
At this point, if you need to install new or upgraded software, refer to the Upgrading System Software
chapter. If software has been preinstalled by your distributor, skip to Configuration Tools chapter to
begin the configuration process.
