GSP Configurable Parameters

Once a system console is configured, additional GSP parameters may be set. For a complete list use the GSP>he command to access the on-line help facility.

Examples of three configurable parameters follow.

Adding Users

The GSP provides a maximum of 20 users (one administrator and 19 operators). By design, the first user added to the GSP becomes the GSP administrator. Only the GSP administrator can add or remove users or change the GSP configuration.




	NOTE: Before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information: User’s name Organization’s name Login name User’s password

To add a user, perform the following steps:

Access the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
At the GSP prompt, enter the Security options and access control (SO) command:
GSP> so

The first prompt you will see with the so command is for GSP wide parameters:

GSP wide parameters are:		
Login Timeout: 1 minutes.
. Number of password Faults allowed: 3
. Flow Control Timeout: 5 minutes.
Do you want to modify the GSP wide parameters? (Y / N) __

At this point you can modify the GSP wide parameters, or continue with adding users. To add users, respond N for no.




	NOTE: If this is the first time users are being added, the first user added will be the GSP administrator. If this is not the first time you are adding users (you are adding additional users), you will need to step through all current users to reach the next available user prompt.

The next prompt that appears will ask the following question:
Do you want to modify the user number 1 parameters? (Y/N/Q to quit) __
Follow the series of prompts to enter all the required fields for adding a user.




	CAUTION: Be sure to read each prompt carefully and enter the correct response. A missed or incorrect entry could deny entry to that user.

The following is an example of an added user’s information:

. User’s Name: Joe Smith
. Organization’s Name: IT Support
. Dial-back configuration: Disabled
. Access Level: Operator
. Mode: multiple
. User’s state: enabled
 
For the number 1 user, the Access level is administrator. The Mode entry of single only allows entry for that user one time, then access will be denied. A Mode entry of multiple allows unlimited entries into the GSP.

Removing Users

You can remove (disable) a GSP user with the same Security options and access control (SO) command used to add a user.

To remove a user, perform the following steps:

Access the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
At the GSP prompt, enter the Security options and access control (SO) command:
GSP> so
The first prompt you will see with the SO command is for GSP-wide parameters:
GSP wide parameters are: . Login Timeout: 1 minutes. . Number of password Faults allowed: 3 . Flow Control Timeout: 5 minutes. Do you want to modify the GSP wide parameters? (Y / N) __
At this point you can modify the GSP wide parameters, or continue with removing a user. To remove users, respond N for no.
NOTE: You will have to step through each user number until you reach the user to be removed.
When you access the number of the user to be removed, you must change the data in the prompts for that number.
It is important that, at a minimum, you need to modify the User’s state to Disabled.

Return the GSP to Default Configurations

The Default Configuration (dc) command is used to reset all or some of the GSP values to the default values. To return GSP values to default configurations, perform the following steps:

Access the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
At the GSP prompt, enter the Default Configuration (dc) command:
GSP> dc
Follow the prompts for the dc command, and be sure to have the change information available.




	CAUTION: When the Security configuration is reset, all users are removed, including the GSP administrator. It also disables the remote. Remote must be re-enabled through the main console using the Enable Remote (er) command.
