The Icim Password - Cisco Prisma II Installation And Operation Manual

The ICIM Password

Using the ICIM Password
The ICIM allows you to send configuration commands, to change alarm thresholds,
and restore factory default settings in Prisma II modules. In order to ensure that no
unauthorized changing of these parameters occurs, you have the option of using a
password protection system. Password authorization only applies to the
configurable parameters. Status and alarm information is always available on the
ICIM regardless of password implementation.
The password system consists of:
• The User password – User Psw. A user-settable password. The User
password is created, entered, and changed by the system operator(s). The
password must be exactly eight digits using only the 0-9 number keys.
The ability to change an existing User password - Change Psw.
•
The ability to disable the User password function - Disable Psw.
•
• A service password - SA Psw. Used only by Cisco personnel.
Important: If you only want to monitor status and alarm data, simply skip the
password function when it appears on the ICIM menu. You can access all module
status and alarm information without a password. However, once a user password
is entered, you are required to enter it every time you want to set configurable
parameters to any module controlled by that ICIM. See Expired Password or
Inactive Password Messages and Entering the User Password that follow.
