Security Levels; Login Sessions - Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge 6130 Planning Manual

feature reduces accidental or intrusive interruption of service. As defined in,
there are 3 user access classes that allow a range of task execution capabilities.

ADMIN
The OME6130 has a default ADMIN level account named ADMIN with
ADMIN password. Nortel Networks recommends that the default passwords
be changed. See
information.
There is no restriction on the number of user account per user access class, as
long as the total number of local user accounts does not exceed nine (9).

Login sessions

To manage an OME6130 network element and issue commands, the user must
be logged in on that node which creates a login session. The maximum number
of login sessions to a network element is ten.
Multiple login sessions
Several user accounts can be active at the same time as long as the maximum
number of ten login sessions is not exceeded. When several sessions are active,
commands can be sent to the network element simultaneously from each active
session.
