3. Select either Regular, Random, or Strong for the admin and status (if enabled) passwords.

PASSWORD SETTING

DESCRIPTION

Regular

These are standard. Passwords must be longer than 4 characters
with few restrictions. This is the system default password
configuration.

Random

Provides randomly generated passwords. Configure the
maximum password size in bits (minimum is 14, maximum is
70, default is 20) and number of retries (default is 10), which is
the number of times you will be asked if you want to accept the
new password. You can either accept (by typing in the new
password twice) or reject the random password. You cannot
select your own password.

Strong

Enforce strong passwords. Retries is the number of times you
are prompted before an error message is issued. DiffOK is how
many characters can be the same in the new password relative to
the old. MinLEN is the minimum length of characters required
in the password. Specify how many Digits, Upper-case letters,
Lower-case letters, and Other (special) characters are required in
the password. Positive numbers indicate the maximum amount
of “credit” of this character class can be accrued towards the
“simplicity” count. Negative numbers implies that the password
MUST have at least that many characters from this given class.
Thus, numbers of -1 means that every password must have at
least one digit in it.

Account Configuration

By default, the status account does not require a password, but you can configure it to require
one. Other aspects of the admin password can be configured and the Field Support accounts can
be enabled or disabled.

1. To configure accounts, click Operation, Admin, DiagCon Passwords, and then click

Account Configuration.

2. In the screen that appears, you can view the settings for each account, Status, Admin, FS1

and FS2.
