Telnet Session Configuration Fields
Field
Description
Admin Mode
Used to
Enable
or
Disable
the Telnet administrative mode. When enabled, the device may be accessed
through the Telnet port (23). Disabling this mode value disconnects all existing Telnet connections
and shuts down the Telnet port in the device.
Session Timeout (Minutes)
Specifies how many minutes (from
1
to
160
) a Telnet session can be inactive before it is logged off. The
factory default is
5
.
Note:
When you change the timeout value, it is immediately applied to all active and inactive sessions.
Any sessions that have been idle longer than the new timeout value are disconnected immediately.
Maximum Number of Sessions
Specifies the maximum number of Telnet sessions that can be connected simultaneously. The
maximum is
4
, which is also the factory default.
Allow New Sessions
Select this option to permit new Telnet sessions until the maximum number allowed is reached.
Clear this option to disable new Telnet sessions (but existing sessions are not disconnected).

User Accounts
By default, the switch contains one user account with read/write privileges. This account’s default user name
is
ubnt
and its password is
ubnt
; both user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you log on to the switch with the default read/write account (ubnt), you can use the
User Accounts
page
to assign passwords and set security parameters for that account. You can also add up to five additional
accounts (either read-only or read/write). You can delete all accounts except for the default account.
Note:
Only a user with read/write privileges may alter data on this screen.
To access the
User Accounts
page, click
System
>
Users
>
Accounts
in the navigation menu.
