Initial Configuration Using IP Office Manager: Changing the IP Address Settings
6.5 Changing the Default Passwords
You should change the default passwords used for configuration access to the IP Office system. Failure to do this leaves
the system insecure to unauthorized configuration changes.
System configuration access is possible via a number of methods:
·
Configuration access using IP Office Manager uses an Administrator account password.
·
Configuration access using IP Office Web Manager uses both the same Administrator account password used for IP
Office Manager but also uses a BusinessPartner account password.
·
Configuration access using phone based administration can be done by the first two extensions in the system. By
default there is no password set to restrict access to phone based administration of the system. For M-Series and T-
Series phones, if a password is set that password is used to restrict phone based administration. For other types of
phone used for phone based administration, no password is required.
Changing the Remote Administration Password
This password controls remote and local access to the system using IP Office Manager. The default administration
password is Administrator.
1.
Start IP Office Manager
and receive the configuration from the IP Office system.
2. On the Manager home page, select Change Remote / Administration Password.
3. Enter the new password and and click OK.
Changing the BusinessPartner Password
The remote administrator password above is used for the non-deletable Administrator account used with both IP Office
Manager and IP Office Web Manager. For IP Office Web Manager there is an additional non-deletable default account that
has full system configuration access and so for which the default password should be changed.
In order to ensure that configuration access to the system is secure, even if IP Office Manager is your preferred
configuration tool, you must
login to IP Office Web Manager
using the BusinessPartner account and
change the
password
for that account.
Changing the System Password
The system password is used from phones to authorize overriding night service and other settings such as call barring. If a
system password is set, you must enter the system password before you can alter selected settings. By default no system
password is set.
The system password is also used to restrict access to system administration from the first two extensions attached to the
system.
1.
Start IP Office Manager
and receive the configuration from the IP Office system.
2. On the Manager home page, select Change System Settings (or from the Admin Tasks list select System).
3. In the System Password field enter the password that should be used.
4. Click Apply.
5. Click on the
icon and save the updated configuration back to the IP Office system.
