About passwords
Passwords can be complicated or simple. For example, the password can be
as simple as 'A' or as complex as '18fhh9Ed'. If a password is very simple,
it is easier for unauthorized users to gain access. However, a complex
password is harder to remember.
It is strongly recommended that an assessment be done of the risk for
unauthorized access and tampering. If the NAC uses the dial-up supervisor
feature, passwords can protect against hackers using dial-up modems.
NAC input features
The NAC receives information from two main sources. These are the
Meridian MAX nodes and the supervisors.
Each Meridian MAX node sends its call data statistics to the NAC once
every 10, 20, or 30 seconds. This call data is a status report on the activity
experienced by the sending node. This information is processed by the
NAC and made available to the supervisors. The data is not stored at the
NAC site. In addition, the Meridian MAX node sends data for the reports
requested by the NAC.
NAC output features
The NAC provides information to its users through two media:
workstations and printers.
Real-time data appears on the workstation through a variety of screens.
These displays are updated every 10, 20, or 30 seconds, and can be printed
at the discretion of the supervisor. For more information, refer to the
"Queue Statistics Display" and "Position Status Display" chapters.
The NAC also offers features to produce standard management reports,
system reports or customized reports. Refer to the "Network Report
Definition", "Network System Reports", and "Standard management
reports" chapters for more information.
The user also has the option of viewing a report on the workstation. This
feature is described in the "Report Preview" chapter.
