2 The WIMAN Command Line Level
14 / 90
2.2 Passwords
Passwords serve to protect the WIMAN from unauthorized ac-
cess to the command line level in the different authorization lev-
els. All passwords must have a length from four to eight charac-
ters. For the passwords the following characters may be used:
" a... z ", " A... z ", " 0... 9 ", " - ", " @ ", "?", " \ ", " [ ", " ] ", "
< ", " > ".
NOTE:
The WIMAN DOES acknowledge case sensitivity characters for
passwords.
Attention
Typing in of any other characters than the ones mentioned above
may lead to a reset of the WIMAN shell.
If no password is assigned for the authorization level one, the
command line appears when the WIMAN is switched on. Oth-
erwise you are asked to enter a password to access the command
line level one.
A password for authorization level two is always required. This
password cannot be deleted, however it is possible to modify
this password.
In case of a false configuration or a forgotten password in the
lowest authorization level (e.g. user authorization level) quali-
fied personnel are needed to access the unit (e.g. Provider). It is
possible to gain access directly to level two by entering the des-
ignated password for that level.
With suitable instruction (see chapter 3.5.1, on page 40) you can
reset the password for authorization level one.
If, for any reason, you are unable to arrive at the necessary au-
thorization level any longer and you are thus closed out of the
device, it is possible to gain access with a master password. The
master password can only be used after the third unsuccessful
access attempt and can only be made via the serial interface.
Further information on this issue can be obtained from your
WIMAN Distributor.
Attention:
The input of the master password can be executed exclusively
over the RS-232 port and results in resetting of all parameters to
their factory settings. A reconfiguration of the device will be
necessary afterwards.
