Security
PacketWave Base Station Units and Subscriber Units can be directly accessed via four dif-
ferent interfaces:
• Web GUI.
• SNMP.
• Command line interface (CLI).
• FTP.
All of these interfaces are protected by the same set of logon levels (user names) and
passwords.
Logon Levels (User Names)
Base Station Units and Subscriber Units have the following logon levels:
• ISP — Base Station Units and Subscriber Units both have this logon level. A differ-
ent password can be defined for each Base Station Unit and each Subscriber Unit.
• S
ubscriber — Only Subscriber Units have this logon level, which provides access to
a subset of the features accessible at the ISP logon level. A different password can
be defined for each Subscriber Unit.
• Debug — This logon level for Base Station Units and Subscriber Units is intended
for Aperto use.
Passwords
Logon levels have the following default passwords:
• For the ISP logon level, the default password is isp.
• For the Subscriber logon level, the default password is subscriber.
To provide effective security, these passwords should be changed as soon as practical.
Passwords can be changed via the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, the Web GUI,
SNMP, and the command line interface (CLI).
Passwords are case-sensitive, meaning that lowercase and uppercase letters are not
considered to be the same. Thus, SUBSCRIBER and Subscriber and subscriber are
three different passwords.
