Telnet User Name and Password
There are two Telnet commands that set the Telnet user name and password:
Set Telnet Username
(see page 55)
Set Telnet Password
(see page 55)
By default, both the user name and password are blank (empty string). Performing a factory reset on the device will return these
values to that default. See the
Performing a Factory Reset
section on page 14 for details.
Setting the
User Name
will have no effect if the password remains blank (empty string). That is, defining the user name
alone will not result in Telnet prompting for user login.
Setting the
Password
will cause Telnet to prompt for user login, whether the user name has been defined or not. If the user
name has been defined, this value must be entered.
However, since the password can be set independently of the user name, it's possible to have a password defined, but the
user name still at its default (blank, empty string).
In this case, do not enter anything for the user name when prompted. Simply press <Enter>, which will then present the
password prompt. Here, the defined password must be entered, in order to successfully open the Telnet session.
Additional Notes
Both the Telnet user name and password are case-sensitive.
Three consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to log in to Telnet will cause the Telnet window to close. Re-launching Telnet will
again present the login prompt, with a fresh "batch" of login attempts.
If Telnet login fails because of an incorrect user name, you will receive the "Invalid Password" message (as opposed to an
"Invalid Username" message).
Setting a Telnet User Name and Password
To set a Telnet user name and password:
1.
Establish a terminal connection via Telnet.
2.
Type
Set Telnet Username
, and press <Enter>. The program will prompt you to enter a new Telnet user name.
3.
Enter a user name and press <Enter>. The program will indicate that the user name is being stored.
4.
Type
Set Telnet Password
, and press <Enter>.
NOTE:
Press <Enter> twice when asked to enter the password to clear both the telnet user name and password.
5.
The program will prompt you to enter a password. Enter a password and press <Enter>.
6.
The program will prompt you to re-enter the Telnet password. Re-enter the password and press <Enter>. The program will
indicate that the password is being stored.
