Activating the Full Access Security Profile
You have to activate and supply the password for the Full Access profile. To perform
configuration tasks, the default password for the Full Access profile is
Ascend
.
To activate the Full Access Security profile:
1
Press Ctrl-D.
The DO menu, a context-sensitive menu, appears:
90-C00 Mod Config
DO...
>0=Esc
P=Password
C=Close TELNET
E=Termsrv
D=Diagnostics
2
In the DO menu, press P (or select P=Password).
The list of Security profiles appears.
3
Select Full Access and press Enter.
The MAX prompts for that profile’s password:
00-300 Security
Enter Password:
[]
Press > to accept
4
Type the password and press Enter to accept it.
Note:
You should modify the Full Access profile to assign a password other than the
default
(Ascend)
as soon as possible.
A message states that the password was accepted and the MAX is using the new security
level. Or, if the password you entered is incorrect, you are prompted again to enter the
password.
Note:
For a console session established through Telnet, the caller must first supply the Telnet
password to establish a Telnet session that uses the Default security level. To configure the
MAX, the Telnet user must then activate the appropriate Security profile.
Special display characters and keys
The following characters have special meaning within the displays:
•
The plus character (+) indicates that an input entry is too long to fit onto one line, and that
the MAX is truncating it for display purposes.
•
An ellipsis (...) means that a submenu displays the details of a menu option.
The MAX displays the submenu when you select the menu option.
