Passwords page
The fields on the Passwords page are for entering and verifying administrator and
user passwords. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper case and
lower case alphanumeric characters. Each password must be entered twice: once
in the Password field and then again in the Re-enter Password field. Characters in
these fields are masked by asterisks (*****).
N
The following characters are invalid in passwords:
{space} + ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
If you do not want to password protect an access level, leave the Password field
and the Re-Enter password field blank. After entering the desired password in both
fields, click the Submit button.
As shown in figure 5-5, password-protected connections allow two levels of
protection:
administrator
and
user
. Administrators have full access to all
MPX 423 A switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can only create ties,
set video and audio mutes, and view all settings, with the exception of passwords.
N
An administrator password must be created before a user password can be
created.

Please keep in mind that:
• connecting via an Ethernet connection and entering SIS commands (see
chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control”) to access the MPX is password
protected.
• connecting via the RS-232 port and entering SIS commands to access the MPX
is not password protected.
N
An administrator password must be created before a user password can be
created.
To clear an existing password so that no password is required, delete the asterisks
in the Password field and place a blank space in the field. Click the Submit button.
