Security profiles
The MAX has nine security profiles, which you can configure to provide up to nine levels of
security. When you first receive your MAX, none of the profiles implements any restrictions.
To see the list of Security profiles:
1
From the Main Edit Menu, move the cursor to the System menu and press Enter.
2
Move the cursor to Security and press Enter.
The Security menu appears:
00-300 Security
>00-301 Default
00-302
00-303
00-304
00-305
00-306
00-307
00-308
00-309 Full Access
Assigning privileges
Powering on the MAX activates the Default profile, which is the first Security profile in the
Security menu. Default profile has no password. As an administrator, you should reset the
privileges in the Default profile to restrict the functions for users accessing the MAX
configuration menus. You should also change the password of the Full Access profile. Do not
change any other settings in the Full Access profile. Proceed as follows:
1
Open the Default profile.
2
Select Operations and set this privilege to No.
3
Press the Left-Arrow or Escape key to save your change.
4
Press 2 (Exit and Accept).
A confirmation message appears.
5
Press the Enter key.
6
Move the cursor to Full Access in the Security profile menu and press enter.
7
Select the password parameter, and enter a new password.
8
Press the Left-Arrow or Escape key to save your change.
9
Press 2 (Exit and Accept).
A confirmation message appears.
10 Press the Enter key.
11 Proceed to configuring the MAX.
12 Reset or power-cycle the MAX to activate the new, restrictive Default profile. Make sure
that you remember the password for the Full Access profile, and that you have not
restricted any privileges in that profile.
You can also assign various levels of access to the as yet unnamed Security profile. For
detailed information about modifying Security profiles and assigning passwords, see the
Network Configuration Guide for your MAX.
