SC-ADT Configuration

Configuring CLI User Privileges

The following paragraphs describe the basic procedures for accessing and configuring SC-ADT
using the command line interface (CLI). Access to the SC-ADT is controlled by three CLI access
modes: USER, SUPERVISOR and ADMIN. The password-protected enable command sets the
access from user mode to supervisor or admin mode, depending on the password entered. The
command prompt suffix character identifies the mode you are currently in:
For USER mode, the prompt string ends in >
Commands in USER mode allow viewing but not changing configuration data.
For SUPERVISOR mode, the prompt string ends in #
Commands in SUPERVISOR mode allow USER access plus the ability to change
configuration data, reboot the unit, manipulate flash files and enable the TFTP server for file
downloads.
For ADMIN mode, the prompt string ends in %
Commands in ADMIN mode allow SUPERVISOR access plus the ability to set up and modify
user accounts for usernames and passwords. ADMIN mode also allows authentication for the
CRAFT port to be turned on or off.
Note
Some ADMIN mode configuration commands (i.e., enabling the craft port or setting up user accounts)
cannot be accessed or executed via the web-based CLI.
Note
Up to 20 usernames/passwords may be specified. The Default Username is
Password is

Note
Local authentication is conducted via usernames and passwords configured in the SC-ADT. You can also
