Setting The Menu Password - Cisco TelePresence C20 Administrator's Manual

Cisco TelePresence System Quick Set C20 and Profiles using C20

Setting the menu password

The menu password protects the Administrator Settings
menu that is available on-screen when using the remote
control.
When starting up the video conference system for the first
time anyone can access these settings, because the menu
password is not set.
We strongly recommend that you set a menu
password, because the administrator settings may
severely affect the behavior of the system.
Note that the menu password, as from software version
TC7.0, applies only to the on-screen Administrator Settings
menu; it does not apply to the Administrator menu on the
Touch 8 controller.
