ASSWORD

A password prevents unauthorized access to Campus-REX2 configuration
options via console port, TELNET, or remote Campus login. This password
also controls access to the Campus-REX2 via FTP as required for software
upgrade (see

“Upgrading Campus Unit Software” on page 92

). You can set a

password with any combination of up to ten letters or numbers, but the first
character must be a letter. Passwords are case-sensitive.

From the System Parameters menu, type

then press

. At the prompt,

enter a password that contains up to 10 ASCII characters.

ENTER NEW PASSWORD (10 characters maximum):

*********

The new password takes effect immediately after it is entered and a save
command is not required.

If you forget your password and cannot log onto the
Campus-REX2, use the LCD to restore the configuration
settings to their factory default values. This removes the
password. For more information, see

“Restoring the System

to Default Values” on page 108
