DO Commands and Administrative Tasks
Activating administrative permissions
S=Save
E=Termserv
D=Diagnostics
To execute a DO command, press and release the Ctrl-D combination (or the DO key on the
palmtop), and then press and release the next key in the sequence (such as 1 to invoke the Dial
command). On a VT100 terminal, the PF1 function key is equivalent to Ctrl-D.
Before you use the administrative commands and profiles, you must log in as a superuser by
activating a Security profile that has sufficient permissions (for example, the Full Access
profile.) Proceed as follows:
1
Press Ctrl-D. The DO menu appears:
00-300 Security
DO
…
>0=ESC
P=Password
2
Press P (or select
P=Password
).
3
In the list of Security profiles that opens, select Full Access.
The MAX unit 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 unit displays a message informing you
that the password was accepted and that the unit is using the new security level:
Message #119
Password accepted.
Using new security level.
If the password you enter is incorrect, the MAX unit 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.
The commands summarized in Table 2-1 are tools for managing security of MAX units.
