The Icim Password - Cisco Prisma II Installation And Operation Manual

The ICIM Password

Introduction
The ICIM allows you to send configuration commands, to change alarm thresholds,
and restore factory default settings in Prisma II modules. In order to ensure that no
unauthorized changing of these parameters occurs, you have the option of using a
password protection system. Password authorization only applies to the
configurable parameters. Status and alarm information is always available on the
ICIM regardless of password implementation.
Password Protection System
The table below shows the ICIM menu options available in the password protection
system.

Important: If you only want to monitor status and alarm data, simply 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. See Expired Password or
Inactive Password Messages and Entering the User Password that follow.
