Security
To ensure that authorized users have access to the HiPath 3000/5000 and to prevent unauthorized
accesses, users must be identified by a user name and authorized by a password. This
applies to all local and remote administration and maintenance procedures using HiPath 3000/
5000 Manager E, Manager T, HiPath 3000/5000 Manager C, Assistant TC, and AMHOST.
After the first system startup and during country initialization, you can select between the following
security options:
● variable password (default)
● fixed password concept
Variable Password
Up to 16 users can be assigned their own user ID with individual name, password, and a user
group consisting of six pre-determined user groups. Only the data authorized for the relevant
user group can be read and administered.
During the first login, the system requests the identity of the user and asks for a new password
(max. 15 characters from the optiPoint 500 character set). This then overwrites the default user
name (31994) and default password (31994). This first user is then automatically assigned to
the user group “System Maintenance”. The system informs the user that no user is configured
in the system and that the user has been assigned with “System Maintenance” authorization.
Using HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E or Manager T, additional users and their passwords can
be configured in the user administration.
If a user forgets a password, it has to be deleted and reconfigured by a different authorized user.
If all authorized users forget their passwords, the system must be regenerated.
Fixed Password
When using the fixed password, only fixed user groups with unchangeable default user names
and default passwords are used. Also, new users cannot be configured in the user administration.
