NAC features
This section outlines a few of the features offered by the NAC.
NAC security features
There are four levels of security to the NAC:
•
the NAC to Node Login password (mandatory)
The NAC to Node Login password connects each Meridian MAX node
to the NAC. It protects the NAC and the Meridian MAX nodes from
illegal entry. This option is described in the “Miscellaneous options”
section of the “Parameter Administration” chapter.
•
the network supervisor’s/network administrator’s supervisor definition
record (mandatory)
Each legitimate system user must have a supervisor definition record.
This record identifies the user and enables that user to access selected
features. The features, which are available to the user, are shown as
highlighted text on the main menu. Features appear dim if they are
unavailable. Typically, the network administrator enables and disables
features for each system user when the supervisor definition records
are created. For more information, refer to the “Supervisor definition”
section in the “Parameter Administration” chapter.
•
the network supervisor’s/network administrator’s login password
(optional)
The login password is an optional security measure. System users can
be assigned a password to identify themselves when they log into the
system. This password is defined in the Supervisor Definition feature
(described in the “Parameter Administration” chapter). This security
feature prevents unauthorized access to the NAC.
•
the network administration password used to access the NAC’s
network administration mode (optional)
The network administration password is an optional security measure
that prevents unauthorized use of two features: Schedule Definition
and Parameter Administration. For more information, refer to the
“Getting started” chapter and the “Miscellaneous options” section in
the “Parameter Administration” chapter.
