Service And User Passwords - ACR Electronics NAUTICAST INLAND AIS Installation Manual

4.5 Service and User Passwords

The Transponder system is equipped with two levels of Password Protection, User and
Service Password.
1) The User Password, which is the lower security level, allows access to all menus except
Menu 6: Service Configuration which is protected by the Service Password.
2) The Service Password is required in order to enter the Service Configuration Menu. This is
a higher security level than can not be accessed with the User Password and therefore
ensures that the Service Configuration is protected, and limited to authorized service
personnel.
The master of the vessel has to ensure that only authorized persons are allowed to make
changes to the Service Configuration and ensures that the newly reset password is stored
very carefully, as it can not be reset from the default "NAUT" a second time.
WARNING: a master key is not available and the unit would have to be returned to a service
center to correct for a lost Service password.
The User Password can be reset in the service configuration menu by entering the Service
Configuration menu and creating a new password.
Changing the Service Password
Select "Service Configuration" from the Main Menu with the cursor button [Up] & [Down] or
press Number 6 on the keyboard.
The password query field appears. Input default Service Password "NAUT" and press M5
[Enter].
Select Submenu 1 "Change Service Password" with cursor button [Up] & [Down] by pressing
Number 1 on the keyboard.
