Starting and Configuring the Device
Configuring Security Passwords
The security passwords can be configured for the following services:
• Terminal
• Telnet
• SSH
• HTTP
• HTTPS
NOTE:
Passwords are user-defined.
NOTE:
When creating a user name, the default priority is 1, which allows access but not configuration rights.
A priority of 15 must be set to enable access and configuration rights to the device. Although user names can be
assigned privilege level 15 without a password, it is recommended to always assign a password. If there is no
specified password, privileged users can access the Web interface with any password.
