Software Features
1. Access Privilege to the AXN CLI The AXN supports 4 levels of access privilege through the CLI. Each user accessing the AXN CLI is pre-classified to one out of 4 groups.

The following are the 4 groups of access levels: a. Administrator - the highest level. Authorized to perform any Read /Write operation of all parameters including setting security information such as IP address of authorized management stations. There is only one administrator per AXN node. b. Configuration members of this group are authorized to perform Read/Write operations of all parameters. They are not allowed to set any security parameters. Typically, they will configure the multiservice connections, the routing tables, etc. c. Technician members of this group are authorized to perform maintenance operations such as loop-back, counters reset but are not allowed to modify any configuration parameters. d. Read the lowest access privilege level. Readers are authorized to perform only read operations of all parameters. 2. Trusted client for Telnet The AXN maintains a list of trusted source IP addresses.
