3.8 SETTING PASSWORDS
Passwords can be used to control access to the RFL 9660. When passwords are used, nine regular users (and
one super-user) will be able to use the RFL 9660. Each time someone calls into the RFL 9660, they will be
asked to enter their password. They will have to enter it correctly to use the RFL 9660. In addition, the
RFL 9660 keeps track of how many times each user calls in.
CAUTION
The super-user password (Password #3) must be entered before you enable passwords. If you
enable passwords without a super-user password in the RFL 9660's memory, all future super-
user access will be prohibited. A master reset will have to be performed to correct this
condition; this will erase all switch and port configuration settings.
There are ten passwords, numbered 1 through 10. Password 3 is reserved for the super-user.
All other passwords are for regular users. If passwords are not set up, all users will be able to
access the RFL 9660 as super-users. This is not recommended, because super-users can
make configuration and port changes.
Passwords are case-sensitive. Once you enter a password, it must be entered the same way
each time it is used; otherwise, the RFL 9660 will not accept it.
To set and enable passwords, use the following procedure:
1. Press the [C] and [ENTER] keys.
The "LOCAL>" prompt will change to a "CONFIG>" prompt. This shows that the
RFL 9660 is in the configuration mode.
2. Press the [H] and [ENTER] keys.
A list of configuration commands will appear on the terminal screen, as shown in
Figure 3-5. Listed next to each command is its meaning, range limits, and default
settings. You should not have to change most of these parameters, unless the
equipment in your installation requires longer delay times. (Refer to Section 5 for
more information on the configuration commands.)
