System
When you initially access the SLC ConnectReach system, no login name and
password are required. The SLC ConnectReach system immediately displays the
Main Menu prompt for the SLC ConnectReach system Utility. For security
reasons, you should configure the SLC ConnectReach system with login names
and passwords.
When you log in to the SLC ConnectReach system by means of a Telnet session
or the RS-232 port, there is one level of privilege for configuring and monitoring
the SLC ConnectReach system. This privilege is called Carrier. Two privilege
levels, carrier and user, are available when logging in to the SLC ConnectReach
system using a Web browser. The two privilege levels offer different sets of
available commands.
Carrier privilege allows unlimited access to all configuration and monitoring
3
commands. You may set one login name with Carrier privilege. Carrier
privilege is designed for use by a limited number of individuals permitted to
configure the SLC ConnectReach system. The use of this privilege should
be carefully restricted.
User privilege allows limited access to the SLC ConnectReach system.
3
You may set one login name with User privilege. By default, User privilege
allows access to a group of commands. To configure the User privilege with
access to additional commands, use the GroupFeature and
CustomFeature commands in the Access submenu.
The login name and password verification utility is case sensitive. When logging
in, you must enter the name and password strings exactly as configured, including
uppercase or lowercase characters.
After three failed attempts to log in to the SLC ConnectReach system, you cannot
log in for 5 minutes. After 20 failed attempts, you cannot log in for 1 hour. You can
bypass this problem by rebooting the SLC ConnectReach system.
After 5 minutes of inactivity, you are automatically logged off.
NOTE:
If the situation requires that you not reboot the SLC ConnectReach system,
you can bypass the login counter by logging in via a different means of
access. If you are using the RS-232 port or the Telnet for access, use a
Web browser instead. If you are using a Web browser, log in via the RS-232
port or Telnet instead.
