LUM0024AB Rev A

Important:

Changes made to the settings on this page can cause the radios to lose

communication with the Gateway and/or MultiPoint Repeaters. Use caution when
making global changes.

l

Security page - All settings on the Security page can be part of a Global Change.

Important:

When changing the AES Encryption Key globally, first make the change

on the Multipoint Gateway. After the Gateway has been changed, you can push the
new key to the other transceivers in the network. If not done in this order, changing the
encryption key can cause transceivers to lose connectivity with the Gateway for an
extended period of time.

l

SNMP page - All settings on the SNMP page can be part of a Global Change.

l

Users page - The Edit Group Level Rights section and the User Accounts Level can be
adjusted using Global Changes; however, user accounts and user passwords cannot be created or
deleted using Global Changes.

Creating User Logins

To limit who can access the Plus-style transceivers in your network and who can edit configuration settings,
you can set up to nine custom user's with login access.

Note: The tenth login is the permanent admin login.

To create a login, do the following.

l

Define your login group levels.

l

Add users by creating user accounts and assign users to a group level.

l

Set a user's password to login. When connecting to the transceiver through Tool Suite or through
the configuration Web pages, a password prompt displays.

Defining User Groups

User groups set the access rights for each Tool Suite tab or configuration Web page for a transceiver. Users
are assigned to a group, and then inherit the access rights that are set for that group.

You can create up to three groups (Groups 1, 2, and 3). Within each group, assign one of the following access
levels to each page or tab:

l

No Access - Users cannot see the settings in the tab or page. Any attempt to navigate to the tab
or page displays an “Access Denied” message.

l

Read Only - Users can see the settings in the tab or page, but cannot save or apply any changes.

l

Full Access - Users are able to see the settings in the tab or page and can save and apply
changes.

When you create a user, you assign the user to a group. The group number corresponds to the user group and
the user inherits the permissions assigned to that group. For example, if Group 1 has Read Only access to
the IP Setup parameters and No Access to the Security parameters, any user assigned to Group 1 can view
IP Setup parameters but not make changes, and receives an Access Denied message if they try to access
the Security tab or page.
