About user models and user permissions

In Digi devices that have a one-user model:

By default, there is no login prompt.

The default name for user 1 is root. This user is also known as the
administrative user.

User 1 has permissions that enables it to do all commands. Permissions cannot
be altered.

Password authentication

By default, there is no password authentication for Digi Cellular Family devices. That

means if when accessing the Digi Cellular Family device by opening the web interface or

issuing a telnet command, no login prompt is displayed.

Enable password authentication

If desired, enable password authentication for the Cellular Family device.

In the web interface:

1

On the Main menu, click Security.

2

On the Security Configuration page, check the Enable password authentication
check box.

3

Enter the new password in the New Password and Confirm Password edit boxes.

4

Click Apply.
