Using Authenticate Mode (optional)
Authenticate mode allows the user to set a password on an appliance, so only authorized
users can access the equipment. The Authenticate commands can only be accessed when
the user is directly connected to the appliance using a USB keyboard and DVI video
monitor. If SSH is used to access the appliance, these commands will not be available.
When authenticate is
on
or
reset
, a password must be generated using simple ascii text, but
it cannot be left blank. After the password is generated, the Spirent TestCenter GUI or API
user will be required to enter the generated password when they attempt to connect to the
appliance.
