Press P (or select P=Password).

In the list of Security profiles that opens, select Full Access.
The MAX prompts you for the Full Access password:
00-300 Security
Enter Password:
[]
Press > to accept
4
Type the password assigned to the profile, and press Enter. The default password for the
Full Access login is
Ascend
.
When you enter the correct password, the MAX displays a message informing you that the
password was accepted and that the MAX is using the new security level:
Message #119
Password accepted.
Using new security level.
If the password you enter is incorrect, the MAX prompts you again for the password.
Note:
The first task you should perform after logging in as the superuser is to assign a new
password to the Full Access profile.
Establishing a system name and other system characteristics
To configure the system name and other basic system parameters, proceed as follows:
1
Open the Sys Config profile (System > Sys Config).
The Sys Config profile appears.
00-100 Sys Config
Name=
Location=
Contact=
Date=00/00/00
Time=00:00:00
Term Rate=9600v
2
Set the Name parameter to a system name of 16 or fewer characters. The Name parameter
is case sensitive.
3
Set the Location parameter and the Contact parameter. Location specifies the physical
location of the MAX unit. Contact specifies a person or department to which errors should
be reported. Both parameters are SNMP-readable and must be 80 or fewer characters.
4
Set the Date parameter and the Time parameter. Specify the date in the format
month/day/year (for example, 01/24/00). The default is 00/00/00. Specify the time in the
format hour:minutes:seconds (for example, 13:24:24). The default is 00:00:00.
If you are using Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), the MAX can maintain its date
and time by accessing the SNTP server.
5
Set the Term Rate parameter. Term Rate specifies the data transfer rate of the control port.
For example, Term Rate = 9600.
