3.1.1.1 Levels
A level-1 password provides access to all commands. However, level-1 access
must be granted in order to change a password. A level-2 password allows
access to only
SHOW commands. Level-2 users can monitor IBM 9783 operation,
but cannot change an IBM 9783 configuration.
3.1.1.2 Conventions
Be sure to execute a QUIT command to terminate each console session.
(However, the password does not time out if you forget to quit.)
As noted in the procedures below, as each character of a password is entered, an
asterisk (*) is displayed. Password entries are not echoed back on the terminal.
The password is confirmed when you retype the password as it was initially typed.
Password recognition in the IBM 9783 is case sensitive; therefore, passwords
must be entered using the same upper and lower case letters as originally
entered.
If you make an error while entering a password, press the left arrow key to
backspace over a mistake and retype it correctly.
When confirming a password, if the entered password does not match the original
entry, the process repeats from the ENTER ACCESS LEVEL <1 OR 2> system
prompt. Retype your password.
To cancel the
PASSWORD command after the procedure has been initiated, press
Esc.
3.1.1.3 Setting System Passwords
To access commands in a new IBM 9783 FRAD, press the Enter key in response
to the ENTER PASSWORD prompt.
To set a password, perform the following steps:
1. Issue the
PASSWORD SYSTEM command. The unit will prompt you to enter an
access level.
2. Type an access level and press the Enter key.
3. You are prompted to enter a new password. (As a security measure, the
characters you type appear as asterisks on the screen.)
