Console Login Configuration
Use the Management Setup: Console Login Configuration to restrict management
access based on specified user names and passwords, or to set the invalid
password threshold and time-out. There are only two user types defined, ADMIN
(Administrator) and GUEST, but you can set up to five different user names and
passwords. Only Administrators have write access for parameters governing the
switch. You should therefore assign a user name and password to the default
Administrator as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place. (If for some reason
your password is lost, or you cannot gain access to the System Configuration
Program, contact Accton Technical Support for assistance.) The parameters shown
on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
