TERMINAL SERVERS
4.2 Access to Management Commands
After the successful installation of the Terminal Server, the next step is the
correct configuration of the unit so it can function as either a Terminal or
Remote Access Server. The system administrator should connect to the system
to configure the device. Please refer to the following sections for more
information.
When the Server is configured for the first time, it should be accessed by a
terminal connected to one of the serial ports of the server. Later, after an IP
address is initially defined for the server, basic configurations which need to
be entered or modified can be implemented remotely by the system
administrator who can now also access the server using Telnet or LAT
sessions. Once accessed, either from a directly-connected terminal or from
the network, the same command language is used for configuration and
operation of the server.

Many of the Terminal Server configuration commands require that the user
be in a special mode, known as
privileged mode
, which is equivalent to
becoming a superuser. This mode is initialized with the SET PRIV command
which prompts the user to enter a password. This protects the Terminal
Server from being configured by any unauthorized persons. Commands that
require privileged mode are disallowed for ordinary (not superusers) users
and any attempts to enter them results in a security violation error message.
The factory default password is system (in lower case). Once in privileged
mode, the system administrator can change this password to one of his own
choosing. The following example shows how an administrator, joe, changes
the password from the default
system
to
peace
.
