Managing Passwords and Passphrases
RUGGEDCOM ROX II requires separate passwords or passphrases for logging into the various device modes,

For a list of default passwords, refer to
The complexity of each password/passphrase can be chosen by the user or enforced through the device by an
administrator. If a user's password/passphrase does not meet the password requirements, an alarm is generated.
Error: Supplied password is shorter than the minimum password length: 12
NOTE
User authentication can also be verified through a RADIUS server. When enabled for authentication
and authorization, the RADIUS server will be used in the absence of any local settings. For
more information about configuring a RADIUS server, refer to
