Other Passwords
The
Change Passwords
operation allows you to change the low-level, high-level,
database maintenance, computer interface, line monitor, and remote control pass-
words (as well as create or delete a line monitor or remote control password).
All of these passwords except the remote control password will exist in the network
database; therefore, a change will affect all nodes. A separate remote control password
is specified for each node.
The computer interface and line monitor passwords are specific network
defaults that are sent to each node at IPL. If one is changed while the
network is operational, you must then perform an
Update Network Defaults
(
[B], [G]
from the Main Menu; described in Chapter 18 ), to inform all the
nodes of the change immediately.
