SET PASSWORD
Each Masterclock device in your network may have its own
password (see the “
Properties
” window to
[Set Password]
),
or you may create a
Global Password
on the “
Discover
”
window
(see below). The default password is “
public
”.
Your custom password should be one to eleven characters
and is case-sensitive. For added password strength, you
should use both alphanumeric and special ASCII characters.
The password must be entered twice to confirm the entry
.
Click [
Change Password
] to save it.
When a password is set for a device, each time you click [
OK
],
[
Apply
] or [
Apply and Close
] for that device you will be asked
for the password. You can select the
[Remember this
password for the session]
button and you will not be
prompted for the password, until you restart WinDiscovery.
Or you can use the Global Password feature (see below).
If you enter the wrong password and selected the
[
Remember this password for the session
] checkbox, you will
receive an error upon clicking [
OK
], [
Apply
] or [
Apply and
Close
] to any configuration changes. You can close the
WinDiscovery session to forget the wrong password(s).
However, this will require entering the password(s) again for
each device.
You can also remove the incorrect password entry during a
WinDiscovery session by going to the drop-down menu for
the device (right click to see this) and selecting the [
Forget
memorized password
]
button.
GLOBAL PASSWORD
The [
Global Password
] button (at left on the “
Network
Device Discovery
” window) allows the user to enter a single
password once for all NTP devices. During subsequent
sessions you will not have to reenter the password.
