Configuration of local user IDs
The Access Server Manager runs in the Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP
Professional, Windows Me, Windows 95, or Windows 98 environment. Approximate
disk space requirements for Microsoft Windows systems are as follows:
ASM 2.6 is compatible with the DECserver 708, 716, and 732 models and for any older
AWAN 3886 model running AWAN build gem217 or later. ASM V2.6 can support the
older AWAN server models and DNAS software versions.
The DNAS CD ROM shipping with 3886 now contains ASM V3.1. ASM V3.1 requires
3886 build gem240 or later. Attempting to use ASM V3.1 with an older build results in
an error message. You can click OK and still use ASM to get a Telnet prompt, but most
other ASM functions will not work.
Other Features of ASM
ASM is also recommended for the following configuration activities:
•
Configuring modems.
•
Saving and restoring the configuration to PC disk. ASM can save all server and
port parameters, including Port AWAN and Telnet Listener.
•
Running ASM command files. You can edit these files or use the defaults. See the
online ASM help for more information
•
Copying one port’s configuration to another port. Once a port has been configured,
you can use ASM to copy the settings to other ports.
•
Obtaining a Telnet prompt, when used as a Telnet utility.
Online Help is also available. Note that there is also hypertext markup language
(HTML) help that you can access by selecting Programs>Access Server
Manager>Access Server Manager HTML.

Note. Passwords for local userids, as well as the “access” and “system” server

using the same ASM or CLI command that originally set them.
