2. Highlight "Set Administrator Password" and press
<ENTER> to password protect administrator rights
(Read/Write privileges). Enter the default administrator pass-
word ("admin") in the space provided. The system will then
request a new password and verification.
3. Choose set "Normal User Password" and press <ENTER>
to assign a password for Read privileges only. The system
will ask only for the new password.
After assigning passwords, you must exit the System
Configuration program (LOGOFF on the Main Menu) for the
changes to take effect. If the user does not exit the program after
setting new passwords, the interface will not be password
protected.
It is recommended that you assign an administrator password as
soon as possible to prevent unauthorized switch re-configura-
tion. If a password is set and then forgotten, contact SMC Tech
support to regain system access.
