that are currently stored in the card NVRAM are used to log in. The user ID
and password might not match the PWD1 on the Call Server because the
Call Server has not yet downloaded the current PWD1 to the Voice Gateway
Media Card. After the ELAN subnet connection is established, the user ID
and password are synchronized on all Voice Gateway Media Cards, and the
new user ID and password are saved in the card NVRAM.
Because all Voice Gateway Media Cards automatically receive the user ID
and password from the Call Server, the password can be changed in a
single location, the Call Server CLI. This eliminates the need to change
the password on every card in the node (just change the password once
on the Call Server). When the password is changed at the Call Server, the
password is automatically sent to all the Voice Gateway Media Cards.
A user can change the user ID and password logon on any card using
the shellPasswordSet CLI command. However, updates from the Call
Server overwrite the card user ID and password in the NVRAM.
If the PWD1 is changed and an EDD operation is not performed, the cards
can contain a mixture of old and new passwords. This could happen if a
new card is plugged in, an existing card reboots or loses and reestablishes
its ELAN subnet connection. Nortel recommends that an EDD be performed
when the PWD1 password is changed on the Call Server. Performing an
EDD ensures that all cards have the new PWD1 user ID and password.
For more information about the PWD1 Level 1 password, see the LD
17 Gate Opener PWD (Password) section in Software Input Output
Administration (NN43001-611).
IP Phone Installer Password
An IP Phone displays the node ID and Terminal Number (TN) of the IP
Phone for 5 seconds as the IP Phone boots up. Password protection controls
who can change the TN on the IP Phone. The IP Phone Installer Password
protection controls registration with a virtual line TN on the Call Server.
The IP Phone Installer Password can also be configured using the CLI
commands in Element Manager. See
