Level 4

Administration allows complete access to all commands, except for
automatic surveillance of all network elements in the network processor
span of control. It is recommended that levels 1 through 4 are used to log
in to a network element.

Level 3

Provisioning allows access to provision, test, edit, and retrieve commands.

Level 2

Control allows access to control and retrieve commands but not to
provisioning.

Level 1

Retrieve allows the user to execute retrieve and report related commands.
Because of its limits, level 1 is appropriate for monitoring purposes.

The network processor and shelf processor come programmed with two
default accounts named SURVEIL (level 5 access) and ADMIN (level 4
access).

Up to 100 accounts can be created for one network element but only six user
sessions using these accounts can be active at one time on one network
element.

Up to 99 accounts can be created for one network processor, but only 34 user
sessions using these accounts can be active at one time on the network
processor. Only two of these accounts can have a level 5 UPC.

Engineering rules

The following engineering rules apply to the third level 5 user feature:

A maximum of 16 network elements can be managed by any active level 5
user within the NPx span of control.

A unique user account ID (UID) is required for each level 5 user if there are
more than one active level 5 user logged in to the NPx.

System identifier (SID)

Each network element and network processor has a unique name, called a
system identifier (SID). The SID is set up during the provisioning process and
indicates the position and function of a network element or network processor
in a network.
