Introducing the Technician Interface
1-11
Your network administrator can change the Technician Interface prompt you
receive on a local or remote ASCII console or Telnet connection screen. For
instructions on how to change the Technician Interface login prompt you receive
on a local or remote ASCII terminal or console screen, see Chapter 2. For
instructions on how to change the Technician Interface login prompt you receive
on a remote Telnet screen, refer to the Configuring TCP Services guide.
You enter Technician Interface commands after the colon (:) prompt, the dollar
sign ($) prompt, or whatever prompt your network administrator sets on the router
for console or Telnet access to the router.
You can also customize the Technician Interface Welcome screen with a message
appropriate for the requirements of your organization or network site. Refer to
“Customizing the Technician Interface Welcome Message” in Chapter 8 for
instructions.
Login Timeout Guidelines
Keep the following in mind when you enter your login name (User or Manager)
and password:
• If you do not make an entry at the Login prompt for 1 minute (default), the
Technician Interface disconnects from the router.
• If you do not make an entry at the Password prompt for 1 minute (default), the
Technician Interface returns you to the Login prompt.
• If you enter the login name or password incorrectly 3 times (default), the
Technician Interface disconnects you from the router.
• If you do not make an entry at the Secure ID prompt for 1 minute (default),
the Technician Interface returns you to the Login prompt.
• If you enter the Secure ID passcode incorrectly 4 times (default) the Secure
ID client software disconnects you from the router and initiates deactivation
of your Secure ID card account. (You must request reactivation from the
Secure ID administrator for your network.)
