Logoff Notification
alerts system administrators, during log off from the
system administration and maintenance interface, of possible system
maintenance problems. This notification also alerts the system
administrators that features that present a significant security risk are
enabled. A message displays on the system administration/maintenance
interface during logoff if a security risk feature is enabled. Additionally, the
user can be required to acknowledge the notification before the logoff is
completed.
■ The system is delivered to the customer with one “super-user” login and
password defined. The customer is required to administer any additional
login and passwords. The super-user login has full customer permissions
and can customize any login that they create. Login permissions are set
by the super-user to allow or block any object that can affect the health of
the switch. Up to 40 administration or maintenance objects (commands)
can be blocked for a specified login.
■ Two maintenance logins are reserved for the SYSAM-RMT and
SYSAM-LCL ports on the TN1648 SYSAM circuit pack located on PPN
control carriers. SYSAM-RMT is a dial-up remote access port reserved for
use by INADS. SYSAM-LCL is accessed by RS232 connectors on the
TN1648. Two other maintenance users can log in by dial-up System
Access Ports (SAPs) or by connecting directly to EPN Maintenance circuit
packs.
■ Up to 5 maintenance and 5 administration commands can run
concurrently. Some commands that use the same resources as others
experience contention and cannot be run at the same time. For more
information on contention, see ‘‘Contention Between Simultaneous
Commands’’ in
Chapter 8, ‘‘Maintenance Commands’’

Switch-Based Bulletin Board
This feature allows a System Access Terminal (SAT) user to leave messages in
the system in order to communicate with other system users.
NOTE:
This feature does not substitute for any existing procedures for escalating
problems. It is only an aid to the existing process.
Description
The bulletin board service provides an easy interface for the customer and
Lucent to leave messages on the system.
The bulletin board feature makes it easy for the customer to communicate with
Lucent (and vise versa). For example, when a new load is installed on a switch in
the customer’s system, Lucent is able to leave the customer messages that
describe any new functions. It also allow Lucent to keep you informed on the
progress of trouble items. In addition, you can use this feature to provide
