The TL1 agent also communicates with the Security Task interface to
authenticate users and manage user sessions. In order to log into the TL1
agent a user must input a valid username and password. The Plexus 9000
is shipped with a default username of “telica”, a password of “telica” and
ADMIN access privileges. It is recommended that these be changed for
security with the TL1 ED/ENT-USER-SECU command. Refer to
for the access levels and their description.
Passwords by default expire after 90 days. However there is a grace
period with a default of 7 days. During this period, you can log in but
must change your password before executing any other commands. A
user cannot change passwords more frequently than every 20 days and the
current and previous five passwords cannot be reused. The preceding
parameters can also be changed with the ED/ENT-USER-SECU
command. These restrictions do not apply to changes made by a user with
ADMIN privileges.

When using Telnet, twenty users (different user names) can be logged into
the Plexus 9000 (i.e., TL1 craft and 19 Telnet sessions). If another user
tries to log in, he will be denied access. If a user has not used the
keyboard for a specified period, has exited the Telnet session, he will be
logged out.
