Session Access Level to Level-2 or Level-3.

NOTE: Regardless of a user’s login access level, a
user cannot operate at a level higher than the
access level specified for the Telnet session (e.g., if

has been set, the Level-1 user can only operate as
a Level-2 user).

If you are going to allow users to configure the unit,
keep the access at Level-1.
