NTERFACE

Each MIX 56 chassis houses two independent systems. When you access
the Craft interface, whether through an Ethernet port on the rear or a Craft
port on the front, your actions affect only the system on the same side of
the chassis as the port to which you connected. The system on the other
side is completely unaffected.

Setting Security

You can restrict access to the MIX 56 by setting security to On. When secu-
rity is on, the Log In screen is the first screen that appears when a Craft in-
terface session is initiated. Users must type their user ID and password to
access any other screens and perform any other functions. When security is
set to Off, the Directory screen is the first screen that appears

1

, and all

screens are accessible to anyone.

There are three levels of security a user can be assigned:

Admin Rd/Wr where the user has full access to the MIX 56.

Config/Test where the user has access to Screens 6 and 7 to Configure
the DS3 and DS1 lines. The user also has access to Screens 19 and 20
to conduct loopback and BER testing.

Read Only where the user can read all screens but has no rights to
change anything.

NOTE

The default user ID is “TELECT” and the default password is “TELECT.”
They are stored in slot 1 of the Security screen upon first power-up and can
be overwritten.

ALERT

ALERT! Do not set the Security field to On without at least one
valid user ID and password in the system. Once security is on,
you cannot access the Craft interface without a user ID and
password. See “Managing Users” on page 4-10.

1. If the date and time have never been entered since power on, then the date and time screen will be the first screen that

appears.
