Passwords Page
The fields on the
Passwords
page are for entering and verifying administrator and user
passwords. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper case and lower
case alphanumeric characters. Each password must be entered twice: once in the
Password field and then again in the Re-enter Password field. Characters in these fields
are masked by asterisks (*****).
If you do not want to password protect an access level, leave the
Password
field and the
Re-Enter password
field blank. After entering the desired password in both fields, click
the
Submit
button.
As shown in the figure below, password-protected connections allow two levels of
protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all DVS 304
switching capabilities and editing functions.

Please keep in mind:
•
Connecting via an Ethernet connection, entering SIS commands (see
chapter) or using the control program to access the
DVS 304 is password protected.
•
Connecting via the RS-232 port, entering SIS commands or using the control
program to access the DVS 304 is not password protected.
NOTE:
An administrator password must be created before a user password can
be created.
To clear an existing password so that no password is required, delete the asterisks in the
Password
field and enter a single space in the field. Click the
Submit
button.
