4.4 Setting User Password Lengths, Setting Passwords for System
Directory Numbers 101, 102, and 108
All extensions of the DX-80 system have an associated user password. Passwords are used to protect the phone
lock, call forward remote and attendant features. You can set the password lengths, four to eight characters.
Note:
Extension passwords can be changed at the extension only by using the phone lock feature.
Changes to the length of the user password affect existing passwords—the system adds or subtracts one default
character to the end of the password. That is, if you extend the length of the password, the system increases all
passwords by adding a 0 in the right-most position. If you reduce the length of the password, the system truncates
all passwords by one character in the right-most position.
Once you have set the password length, set the passwords for extensions 101, 102, and 108, because these are
system directory numbers.
If you need to program passwords for individual extensions, see Section 10.4, Assigning a Password to the
Extension .
