If using the pull-down menu or if no user ID was entered as a qualifier, the
ConsoleServer 800 will the prompt the user for their user ID by displaying
Please Enter User ID
. At this prompt, they should type the user ID
assigned to them by the system administrator. After the user has entered their
ID, they will be prompted for their password when the ConsoleServer 800
displays
Please Enter Password
. On the first login, this will be a password
assigned by the system administrator. The password is case sensitive, so the
user must be sure to type the password exactly as it is in the system. The
ConsoleServer 800 will only echo stars for each character typed at the password
prompt. Once the user has entered their password, the screen will clear, and a
prompt displaying their user ID will appear, indicating that the ConsoleServer 800
is ready for use. For example, a user with an ID of "GEORGE" will have a
prompt of
GEORGE>
once they have logged in.
When a user profile is created by the sys admin, the password is pre-
expired. The user must change the password assigned by the sys admin
before selecting a device or listening to a device port for the first time.
To change the password, the user must use the command
CHANGEPSWD
or
PASSWD
. The ConsoleServer 800 will first prompt the user for the old password
by displaying
PLEASE ENTER OLD PASSWORD
. At this prompt, the user should
enter the old password and press
<ENTER>
. The ConsoleServer 800 will then
prompt the user for the new password by displaying the prompt
PLEASE ENTER
NEW PASSWORD
. The user should enter the new password (which may be up to
ten alphanumeric characters and is case-sensitive) at this prompt and press
<ENTER>
. After entering the new password, the user will be asked to verify the
new password by the prompt
PLEASE VERIFY PASSWORD
. The user should
enter the new password again at this prompt exactly as it was typed the first time
and press
<ENTER>
. If both new password entries match, the ConsoleServer
800 will display
New password accepted.
on the screen and return to the
user prompt. If the new entries do not match, the message
New and verify
password mismatch
is displayed, the new password is rejected, and the old
password remains valid. The ConsoleServer 800 will also reject a new password
if the incorrect password is entered when prompted for the old password, or if the
new password is the same as the old password.
5.6 Logging
Out
A user may logout at any time that commands may be made to the
ConsoleServer 800 by typing
LOGOUT
,
LOGOFF
, or by selecting
LOGOUT
from a
pull-down menu. When a user is connected to a server and they logout, the
connection to that server will be broken and any other users that are listening to
that session will lose their connection to that server as well.
