1.2.2 Password Security

1.2.2 Password Security
To maintain system security, system passwords are required to access certain programming functions of the
PBX. By giving different users access to different passwords, it is possible to control the amount of
programming that each user is able to perform.
The following types of system passwords are available:
Password
System Password for User
System Password for
Administrator
System Password for
Installer
The three programmer codes used for PC programming can be set through Maintenance Console. For more
information about programmer codes, see 2.1.2 Access Levels.
CAUTION
To the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password
1.
Please provide all system passwords to the customer.
2.
To avoid unauthorised access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret, and inform
the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if they become known to
others.
3.
The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time that you
programme the PBX.
4.
Change the passwords periodically.
5.
It is strongly recommended that passwords of 10 numbers or characters be used for maximum
protection against unauthorised access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in system
passwords, see 1.1.2 Entering Characters.
