4.1 Establishing Database Administrator Password
The DX-80 system allows you to set up and maintain the system database using any DX-80 DET telephone, once
you have entered the database administrator password.
Note : While it is possible to program the DX-80 system
while the telephone is in use, certain button operations are used during programming and cannot be used for tele-
phone call processing. Therefore, it is suggested that you not use these features simultaneously unless you have
been directed to do so by Vertical Technical Support.
The database administration password is by default set to ######## (eight #s) when programming by phone, and “
“ (eight spaces) when programming using PC-DBA. To change the default password, you must first connect to the
switch enter and Database Administration using the default password.
Passwords must be eight alphanumeric characters long. You can use any combination of letters and/or numbers,
plus the # symbol. Passwords are case-sensitive, so for example if you use a capital “R” you cannot enter a lower
case “r” when entering the password later.
