COMMAND USAGE
◆
The default administrator name is “admin” without the password.
◆
The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters. However, the
administrator has write access for all parameters governing the onboard agent. You
should therefore assign a new administrator password as soon as possible, and store it in
a safe place.
◆
The administrator has a privilege level of 15, with access to all process groups and full
control over the device. If the privilege level is set to any other value, the system will refer
to each group privilege level. The user's privilege should be same or greater than the
group privilege level to have the access of a group. By default, most of the group privilege
levels are set to 5 which provides read-only access and privilege level 10 which also
provides read/write access. To perform system maintenance (software upload, factory
defaults, etc.) the user’s privilege level should be set to 15. Generally, the privilege level
15 can be used for an administrator account, privilege level 10 for a standard user
account, and privilege level 5 for a guest account.
