10.3 Clear the Password on DXM700-Bx, DXM1000-Bx, or DXM1200-
Bx Models
By default, the DXM Controllers do not require a password to load a configuration file. If a password is defined, the
password must be entered before uploading a configuration file.
To change the password, you must already know the current password. If you do not know the current password, follow
these steps to clear the password.
Important: Clearing the password erases the current configuration and any program files, log files, or
history files.
1. Turn on the power to the DXM Controller.
2. Set DIP switch 4 to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the processor button until processor board LED flashes.
