Telnet User Name and Password
There are two Telnet commands that set the Telnet user name and password:

Set Telnet Username
(see page 27)

Set Telnet Password (see page 27)
By default, both the user name and password are blank (empty string). Performing a factory reset on the device will
return these values to that default. See the
Simulating the ID Pushbutton section on page 9 for details.

Setting the User Name will have no effect if the password remains blank (empty string). That is, defining the
user name alone will not result in Telnet prompting for user login.

Setting the Password will cause Telnet to prompt for user login, whether the user name has been defined or
not. If the user name has been defined, this value must be entered.
However, since the password can be set independently of the user name, it's possible to have a password
defined, but the user name still at its default (blank, empty string).
In this case, do not enter anything for the user name when prompted. Simply press <Enter>, which will then
present the password prompt. Here, the defined password must be entered, in order to successfully open the
Telnet session.
Additional Notes

Both the Telnet user name and password are case-sensitive.

Three consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to log in to Telnet will cause the Telnet window to close.
Re-launching Telnet will again present the login prompt, with a fresh "batch" of login attempts.

If Telnet login fails because of an incorrect user name, you will receive the "Invalid Password" message (as
opposed to an "Invalid Username" message).
Setting a Telnet User Name and Password
To set a Telnet user name and password:
1.
Establish a terminal connection via Telnet.
2.
Type Set Telnet Username , and press <Enter>. The program will prompt you to enter a new Telnet user name.
3.
Enter a user name and press <Enter>. The program will indicate that the user name is being stored.
4.
Type Set Telnet Password , and press <Enter>.
Note: Press <Enter> twice when asked to enter the password to clear both the telnet user name and password.
5.
The program will prompt you to enter a password. Enter a password and press <Enter>.
6.
The program will prompt you to re-enter the Telnet password. Re-enter the password and press <Enter>. The
program will indicate that the password is being stored.
