PASSWORD PROTECTION FOR SERIAL PORT CONNECTIONS
Password/username is not offered for the serial port by default. This allows the
end user to quickly access the device for basic configuration capability.
Password protection is provided for the serial configuration process by pressing
P on the main configuration screen. Enter a password (keeping in mind that
passwords are case-sensitive and must not exceed eight characters or include
spaces) and press Enter. This password will be requested whenever logging on.
To remove password protection, select P and, instead of entering a password,
press Enter.
Passwords have the following requirements:
• Password must be between 1 and 8 characters long
• Password consists of a combination of any ASCII characters except spaces
• Passwords are case sensitive
Passwords make the management of the devices secure; but password lists
must be stored and maintained.
