Configuring the Manager and Operator Passwords

There are two levels of management access on an AT-9400 Series switch:
manager and operator. When you log in as manager, you can view and
configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an
operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot
change any values.

You log in as a manager or an operator when you enter the appropriate
username and password when you start an AT-S63 management
session. The default password for manager access is “friend.” The default
password for operator access is “operator.” Passwords are case sensitive.

To change the manager or operator password, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.

The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 51.

2. From the System Administration menu, type 6 to select

Authentication Configuration.

The Authentication Configuration menu is shown in Figure 8.
