User names and passwords

For more information about adding and removing users from the system, see "Adding users" (page 34) and "Removing users" (page 35).

System administrator account

Nortel recommends that you change the default administrator user name and password for security reasons. The default administrator user name is "admin". The default password is "setup". For more information on customizing the system administrator account, see "Changing the admin

user password" (page 32) and "Changing the administrator account name" (page 33).

Alarms and system status

status" (page 40) and "Checking the system for alarms" (page 39) for
