Setting appliance security

When a password is not set, anyone with access to the local user station can access the OSCAR
interface. For security, enable the screen saver and set an OSCAR interface password.
You can specify an inactivity timeout for the screen saver. When the screen saver starts, any target
device connections are ended. The screen saver stops when you press any key or move the mouse.
When a password is set, you must type the password and click OK to turn off the screen saver. A
password must contain both alphabetic and numeric characters and can be up to 12 characters long.
Passwords are case-sensitive. Valid characters are A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, space, and
hyphen.
Important: If you forget the password, you must call technical support. See "Appendix E"
beginning on page 97 for contact information.
