Admin Command
Opens and closes an administrator session. Any command that changes the 
router configuration requires that the user be in an Admin session. Only one 
Admin session can be open on the router at any time. An inactive Admin session 
will time out after a period of 15 minutes.

Syntax
admin
start
 (or begin)
end
 (or stop)
cancel
Keywords
start (or begin)
Opens the Admin session.
end (or stop)
Closes the Admin session. The logout, shutdown, and reset commands also 
end an Admin session.
cancel
Terminates an Admin session opened by another user. Use this keyword with 
care, because it terminates the Admin session without warning the other user and 
without saving pending changes.
Notes
Closing a Telnet window during an Admin session does not release the session. In 
this case, you must either wait for the Admin session to time out, or use the Admin 
cancel
 command.
Examples
The following example shows how to open and close an Admin session:
QRouter  #> admin start
Password     :  ******
QRouter(admin) #>
.
.
.
QRouter(admin) #> admin end
QRouter #>
