User Accounts
Each Mercury transceiver has two local user accounts available via
console terminal management, as listed in the chart below:
Table 11. Local User Accounts
NOTE:
In case of a lost password and an inability to login to the trans-
ceiver,
see “TROUBLESHOOTING” on Page 46
for details
on resetting the password.
In addition to the local user accounts, the Mercury transceiver can be
configured to use a RADIUS server for centralized user account
management. The
Configuration - Security
page is used to configure the
User Auth Method
to RADIUS. If the
User Auth Fallback
parameter is set to
Local
, then the local user account information will be used if the
RADIUS server (and secondary server if configured) is unreachable.
