Setting Admin User Privileges via a Telnet/SSH
Connection
Administrator User Privileges
Up to 10 usernames/passwords can be defined for login use via a Telnet, SSH, or
web GUI (for example, HTTP) session on the D9854/D9854-I receiver.
When a user tries to log in via a Telnet, SSH, or HTTP connection, the user is
required to provide a username and a password. The user is granted access only if
this username/password pair exists in the authentication table.
The factory preset "Admin" account has Admin privileges and is allowed to add new
users, delete users, change usernames, and modify its own passwords. Users with
non-Admin privileges (for example, User and Guest) are only allowed to modify
their own passwords.
Starting a Telnet/SSH Session
To start a communication session with the receiver, use a utility such as Tera Term
Pro or PuTTY.
Proceed as follows to log into a new connection using Tera Term:
1 In the New Connection window, enter the IP address in the Host field.
2 If you want to start a telnet session, select Telnet and enter 23 in the TCP Port#
field.
3 If you want to start an SSH session, select SSH and enter 22 in the TCP Port#
field.
4 Click OK.
5 If you started a Telnet session:
a At the Login prompt, type the username and press Enter.
b At the Password prompt, type the password and press Enter.
Note: The username and password are case-sensitive. The default username
is admin and the default password is localadmin.
c Type lr and press Enter.
6 If you started an SSH session:
a A Security Warning message is displayed (first time only). Select Add this
machine and its key to the known hosts list and click Continue. The SSH
Authentication window is displayed.
b In the User name field, type the username, admin.
