Icim Password; Password Protection System - Cisco Prisma II Installation Manual

Chapter 3 Operation using ICIM

ICIM Password

The ICIM allows you to send configuration commands, change alarm thresholds,
and restore factory default settings in Prisma II modules. To prevent unauthorized
changes to these parameters, you have the option of using a password protection
system. Password authorization only applies to configurable parameters. Status and
alarm information is always available on the ICIM, regardless of password
implementation.
Note: The following instructions pertain to the use of the ICIM2 front-panel interface
(LCD and keyboard). Remote password and other administrative functions are also
supported using CLI Commands or the ICIM Web Interface. For details, see the
Configuration Guide for your system release.

Password Protection System

The ICIM menu options available in the password protection system are shown here.

Important: If you only want to monitor status and alarm data, skip the password
function when it appears on the ICIM menu. You can access all module status and
alarm information without a password.
However, once a user password is entered, you are required to enter it every time
you want to set configurable parameters to any module controlled by that ICIM.
