4.2.3.8 User Accounts
By default, two user accounts exist:
admin, with 'Read/Write' privileges
。
guest, with 'Read Only' privileges
。
By default, both of these accounts have blank passwords. The names are not case sensitive.
If you logon with a user account with 'Read/Write' privileges (i.e. as admin) you can use the User Accounts screen to assign
passwords and set security parameters for the default accounts, and to add and delete accounts (other than admin) up to the
maximum of six. Only a user with 'Read/Write' privileges may alter data on this screen, and only one account may be created
with 'Read/Write' privileges.
Selection Criteria
User Name Selector - You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing account, or to create a new one. Use this
。
pull-down menu to select one of the existing accounts, or select 'Create' to add a new one, provided the maximum
of five 'Read Only' accounts has not been reached.
Configurable Data
User Name - Enter the name you want to give to the new account. (You can only enter data in this field when you
。
are creating a new account.) User names are up to eight characters in length and are not case sensitive. Valid
characters include all the alphanumeric characters as well as the dash ('-') and underscore ('_') characters.
Password - Enter the optional new or changed password for the account. It will not display as it is typed, only
。
asterisks(*) will show. Passwords are up to eight alpha numeric characters in length, and are case sensitive.
Confirm Password - Enter the password again, to confirm that you entered it correctly. This field will not display,
。
but will show asterisks (*)
Authentication Protocol - Specify the SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol setting for the selected user account. The
。
valid Authentication Protocols are None, MD5 or SHA. If you select None, the user will be unable to access the
SNMP data from an SNMP browser. If you select MD5 or SHA, the user login password will be used as the
SNMPv3 authentication password, and you must therefore specify a password, and it must be eight characters
long.
Encryption Protocol - Specify the SNMPv3 Encryption Protocol setting for the selected user account. The valid
。
Encryption Protocols are None or DES. If you select the DES Protocol you must enter a key in the Encryption Key
field. If None is specified for the Protocol, the Encryption Key is ignored.
Encryption Key - If you selected DES in the Encryption Protocol field enter the SNMPv3 Encryption Key here.
。
Otherwise this field is ignored. Valid keys are 0 to 15 characters long. The Apply checkbox must be checked in
order to change the Encryption Protocol and Encryption Key.
Non-Configurable Data
Access Mode - Indicates the user's access mode. The admin account always has 'Read/Write' access, and all
。
other accounts have 'Read Only' access.
SNMP v3 Access Mode - Indicates the SNMPv3 access privileges for the user account. The admin account
。
always has 'Read/Write' access, and all other accounts have 'Read Only' access.
