Initial Access

The Login: prompt is displayed.
As the initial user, enter the default user name admin and press
Return at the Password: prompt. The first time you access the
command line interface using the Admin level, there is no password.
CAUTION: Your system is open to anyone until you set a password
for the Admin level. Use the system password command to set a
password immediately you gain access.
We recommend that when you have accessed the unit, you change
the default passwords for the other user levels (if you have not
already done so) by logging in as the different user levels.

Logging On

At subsequent logins, enter your user name and then your password
(at the Password: prompt). You must enter your user name and
password correctly before you can continue with your management
session.
If you have logged on correctly, the initial menu appears. If you have
not logged on correctly, the message Incorrect password
appears and the login sequence starts again.
