Using the Freedom System
11
System setup
Setting passwords and changing them periodically protects your system from unau-
thorized use. You always have complete access to the Maxicom
2
system from the
computer keyboard. You only need the password to gain access to the Maxicom
2
system when you are using the Freedom handheld radio unit or remote telephone.
You can use one password with the Freedom System. The Freedom password
allows access to all levels of the Freedom System.
Setting or changing the Freedom password
To change the Freedom password:
1.
With the Freedom tab displayed, in System Properties, enter the Freedom
Password.
2.
Click the
OK
button.
Your new Freedom password is saved.
Setting the Freedom Time Window
After defining as many of the passwords as you need, you can enter the start and
end times for the Freedom Time Window. The Freedom Time Window prevents
remote users from accessing the system during certain periods of the day.
For example, if you want remote users to access the system only from the hours of
8 a.m. to 4 p.m., you would enter 8:00 a.m. for the window’s start time and 4:00
p.m. for the window’s end time. Maxicom
2
will then block all remote accesses that
are not initialized during those times (except when the master password is used).
