Chapter 2: Basic Switch Parameters

46 Section I: Basic Operations

Changing the Manager and Operator Passwords

There are two levels of management access on an AT-9400 Series switch:

manager and operator. When you log in as a manager, you can view and

configure all of a switch’s operating parameters. When you log in as an

operator, you can only view the operating parameters; you cannot change

any values.

You log in as a manager or an operator by entering the appropriate

username and password when you start an AT-S63 management session.

The default password for manager access is “friend.” The default

password for operator access is “operator.” Passwords are case sensitive.

To change the manager or operator password, perform the following

procedure:

1. From the home page, select Configuration.

The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by

default, as shown in Figure 5 on page 44.

2. In the Passwords section, enter the new values. The parameters are

described below.

Manager Password

Confirm Manager Password

You use these parameters to change the manager’s login password for

the switch. The password can be from 0 to 16 characters in length.

The same password is used for both local and remote management

sessions. To create a new password, enter the new password into both

fields. The default password is “friend.” The password is case

sensitive.

Caution

Do not use spaces or special characters, such as asterisks (*) and

exclamation points (!), in a password if you are managing the switch

from a web browser. Many web browsers cannot handle special

characters in passwords.

Operator Password

Confirm Operator Password

Use these parameters to change the operator’s login password for the

switch. The password can be from 0 to 16 characters in length. The

same password is used for both local and remote management

sessions. To create a new password, enter the new password into both

fields. The default password for operator is “operator.” The password is

case sensitive.
