3.1.3 Administrator and User Logins
The login command allows the user to log into a (new) terminal or Telnet session at a specific
security level—administrative or general purpose user. You will need the Administrator access on
the S2A9550 in order to change the system configurations.
For RS-232 terminal session, the general purpose user does not require login. For Telnet session, you
are required to login as either an administrator or a general purpose user.
If you login as an administrator, you will have access to all the management and administrative
functions. You can obtain status information and make changes to the system configuration.
At the general purpose user access level, you are only allowed to view the status and configuration
information of the system.
If the S2A9550 determines that the individual does not have the proper privileges, it will return a
message:
<user entered command>: Permission denied
