until the unit is powered off or put in standby mode.
Restricted Mode may also be temporarily turned on and off at
scheduled times using Forced Tune Events. This could be used
to allow employees to access all channels after closing time, as
an example.
Passcode security and convenience is a delicate balance. A
new SXM-100 has the default passcode set to “1234”. You
may change the passcode by using the Setup Passcode Menu.
Of course, passcode entry is required to access this menu.
Antex highly recommends you change the passcode from the
default value and have a method of remembering it and
keeping it safe. There is a passcode recovery method, in case
you should forget the passcode. Antex has developed a
system of passcode recovery which preserves the integrity of
the passcode protection. Antex can issue a recovery passcode,
but the recovery passcode is a cryptographic hash of both the
SiriusXM Radio ID and the current date. This means there is
NOT
a universal “backdoor” password that would compromise
the integrity of the whole system.
The recovery passcode issued by Antex will only work
on that particular SXM-100 and only until midnight on the day
it was issued and can only be used to change the passcode.
There is a registration process for the SXM-100 as well. We
encourage you to register your SXM-100 and specify your
passcode recovery restrictions to prevent unauthorized
persons from requesting a recovery passcode. (Of course, if
an unauthorized person uses a recovery passcode, you will
know because they can only change the passcode and the
previous passcode will no longer work.) By registering your
SXM-100 with Antex, you can make the passcode recovery
more secure by requiring the passcode only be sent as a text
message to your phone, or only be sent to a certain email
address, or by requiring security questions be answered in
order to issue the recovery passcode.
If an SXM-100 is not
registered, Antex will give a recovery passcode to
anyone claiming to be the rightful owner.
If you wish to
prevent this from happening, please register your SXM-100.
