Password Programming
The first two digits of each password identify each one of the 100
passwords (00–99). When you assign each remote user a two-digit
user number, this user number becomes the first two digits of the
user's password. A user is permitted to change only his or her own
password. If the first two digits of the new password do not
correspond to the user number, the new password is not accepted.
An exception to the above is password "00" which is used by the
system administrator.
NOTE:
If more than one Standalone Switch Module is connected to the
DEFINITY ECS in a hunt group configuration, you should disable
the remote users' capability of changing passwords by setting DIP
switch 3 on the back of each Remote Module in the hunt group to
the OFF position. The reason for this action is that if the user
changes a password, the change is stored only in the Standalone
Switch Module to which the user is connected and not in all the
Standalone Switch Modules in the hunt group.

Security Alert
All information about changing passwords and DIP switches
should be considered proprietary and should not be given to
Remote Module users.
Passwords are changed by first entering the old password and then
the new password. As the system administrator, you can disable
any password (except password "00") by changing the password to
a two-digit code (the number of the user whose password is to be
disabled).
