Chapter 1 TL1 Overview
Command Security
22 TimeProvider TL1 Reference Guide 097-58001-01 Revision E – September 2006
Each of the TimeProvider’s TL1 commands have one of the following four access
levels assigned to them by default:
 NONE – When a given command is assigned an access level of NONE, anyone
with access to the unit’s Serial or Ethernet ports can execute the command. A
user doesn’t even have to be logged into the system to use commands that have
an assigned access level of NONE.
 USER – When a given command is assigned USER access level, any valid
system user having a user access level of either USER, ADMIN, or SECURITY
can execute the command after logging into the system.
 ADMIN – When a given command is assigned ADMIN access level, any valid
system user having a user access level of either ADMIN or SECURITY can
execute the command after logging into the system.
 SECURITY – When a given command is assigned SECURITY access level, only
valid system users having a user access level of SECURITY can execute the
command after logging into the system.
Table 1-6 lists each of the TimeProvider’s TL1 commands in alphabetical order. The
command type and default (factory set) access level is included in Table 1-6 for
each command.
Caution: Security is initially not enabled on the TimeProvider. With
security not enabled, anyone can execute any of the unit’s TL1
commands, severely compromising the integrity of the system.
Security is activated as soon as an initial user is entered into the
system with a user access level of SECURITY. Symmetricom strongly
recommends that an initial Security-level user be defined in the system
as soon as the system is installed. Refer to the TimeProvider User
Guide (097-58001-02) for information on defining the first user.
Note: The factory default access level can be changed for most of the
TimeProvider TL1 commands, however, the access level for the
following commands is fixed and cannot be changed: ACT-USER,
CANC-USER, ED-CMD-SECU, ED-USER-SECU, and
ENT-USER-SECU.
