Configuration 3-18 PRISM 3101/3102
Set Date: The current date may be entered in this field
using the MM:DD:YY format. For example, July 4, 1993 is
entered as 070493.
The time and date can be set at the far end, but
not displayed.
New Password: This field allows entry of a password of up
to 10 characters. An empty string (carriage return only) may
be entered to disable the password feature. After <return> is
pressed, the new password is activated and is no longer visi-
ble. Therefore, type carefully when entering a new pass-
word and verify before pressing <return>. When the
terminal interface is exited and later reactivated, this pass-
word must be entered exactly to gain access. If the wrong
password is entered, the following message will appear:
Incorrect Password; Please Enter Again.
Do not exit the terminal interface
program until the password proce-
dure is fully understood. If a password
has been specified, it must be typed
exactly to reenter the program.
If you program a password and later forget it, contact
TxPORT Technical support for a one-time backdoor pass-
word.
The reset operation sets all parameters to the
factory default settings and zeros all perfor-
mance registers.
Maintenance Reset: This field will clear all user selectable
parameters, performance registers, passwords, and alarms
but saves the IP Address. All alarm threshold parameters
will be reset to default values. The unit reloads start-up con-
figuration settings from the default parameters stored in
ROM. Pressing <return> on this field brings up the follow-
ing warning:
DELETE ALL DATA AND RESTART UNIT?
(NO!) (YES)
Factory Reset: Removes all memory including the IP
Address.
To exit this screen without performing the reset function,
press <return>with NO selected. To proceed with the reset
function, move the cursor to YES and press <return>.
SNMP / TELNET
Any workstation emulating an ANSI VT100 terminal can
communicate with the 3101/3102. Note that only a single
TELNET session is supported at any one time.
You must be familiar with TELNET operation to begin
communication with the unit (refer to the TELNET docu-
mentation) The TELNET interface provides security
through password layers identical to those described in this
chapter for the terminal interface. Once communication is
established, all TELNET screens are identical to those
described for the terminal interface.
