2. Enter the new password. Up to eight characters can be used.
3. Select <OK>.
3-5.4 Special Cases
Depending on the system configuration, the password feature works differently because of the way the
password is stored.
Generally the storage location is transparent to the user or installer. However, communications must be
established between the personal computer and the Detector or IIM before a password can be entered.
1. When using Direct Detector connections, the password cannot be entered or changed unless the com-
puter is communicating with the Detector. The password is stored in the Detector.
2. When using Local IIM connections, the password cannot be entered or changed unless the computer is
communicating with the IIM. The password is stored in the IIM. The default passwords apply to the IIM
connections as well.
3. When using Remote IIM connections, the password cannot be entered until connection has been made
with the remote site. It may take up to one second per device for LaserNET to establish communica-
tions with all Detectors connected to the IIM. The password is stored in the IIM. If the correct password
is not entered after three attempts, the modem will hang up.
3-6 DETECTOR AND IIM CONFIGURATION
Once the connection is configured in LaserNET, set the operating parameters of these components as
