not allowed, and usernames are not case sensitive). Press Enter.
At the Password: prompt, type a password of 1-16 alphanumeric and other typeable characters (ASCII
32 to 126 decimal). Passwords are case sensitive. Press Enter.

Changing a password
The Set User Password command changes a user’s password. For security, when you type a password,
the characters are not displayed on the screen. See For units with multiple infeed connectors, absolute
names are specified by a period (.) followed by the tower letter, the infeed letter and outlet number.
Example: The absolute name for outlet 8 on the B infeed of tower A is .AB8.
Outlets may also be included in one or more named groups of outlets, enabling you to issue a command
that affects all outlets in a named group.
