Users
The unit allows you to de
fi
ne a number of authorised users. The number of users available depends
upon the software build that your unit is running. Each user has a password and an access level that
determines what facilities the user has access to.
Using the Web Page(s)
The
Confi gure

Users
pages display tables that allow you to set the following parameters for each
user:
Name:
Enter a username of up to 14 characters.
Password:
Enter a password for the user of up to 14 characters.
Confi rm Password:
Re-enter the Password in this
fi
eld to con
fi
rm it.
Access Level:
Select the access level for the User. Level “Super” allows full access to all facilities.
Level “High” allows users to change some settings such as the time & date and to recon
fi
gure the
general operation of the unit. However, a High level user cannot change User settings.
Level “Medium” allows read-only access, i.e. the user will not be able to alter any of the
con
fi
guration settings.
Level “Low” allows the user access to commands whose access level is “Low” or “None”.
Level “None” allows the user access to commands whose access level is “None”.
IP address
In the event that multiple PPP instances are enabled for answering and that multiple remote routers
can dial into the local router, static routes cannot always be used to ensure that packets which should
be routed to the remote network are sent through the correct PPP interface. This parameter can be
used in conjunction with the IP mask parameter to associate a network address with a user.
When a remote unit “dials in” and authenticates with the unit, the unit will then create a dynamic route
(that will override any static routes) for the duration of the PPP session. The interface for the dynamic
route will be the PPP interface that answered the call. The network address for the dynamic route will
be taken from the entry in the user table that matches the username that the remote unit used during
the PPP authentication.
IP mask
The IP mask parameter is used in conjunction with the IP address parameter above to fully qualify the
network address for the user.
Dialback number
This parameter is used to specify a telephone number for the user in the event that “dial-back” is
required. If the username that the remote router uses during the PPP authentication matches an
entry in the user table where a Dialback number is speci
fi
ed, this Dialback number will override any
Dialback number speci
fi
ed in the answering PPP interface.
Public Key fi le
This parameter contains the
fi
lename of the
fi
le containing the public key for that user. If the public key
matches the client supplied public key, the user is allowed access.
