Confi guration
Notes:
• If you do not define at least one password that permits access
to Supervisor Mode, then Supervisor Level commands will be
available to all ports, and port access and configuration functions
will not be password protected.
• If you wish to restrict users from changing APS-8/16M
configuration parameters or connecting to restricted ports, you must
define at least one password that permits access to Supervisor Mode
as described in Section 5.4.1.
• If the unit is reset to default parameters, all passwords will be
erased, and Supervisor Level commands will be available at all
ports, without password protection.
Normally, passwords that permit access to Supervisor Mode can be entered at
any port in order to gain access to Supervisor command functions. Note that
if you wish to completely deny a port’s access to Supervisor Mode (even with
a Supervisor Password), the Port Parameters menus (/P) can be used to disable
the Supervisor Mode at any RS232 Port except for ports 1 and 2 (the System
SetUp Ports.) The Supervisor Mode cannot be disabled at System SetUp
Ports 1 and 2.
5.4. The System Parameters Menu
Before configuring individual ports, the System Parameters should be defined.
The System Parameters Menu (/F) allows you to set the Site ID Message,
enable/disable the Password on Dial Back Function, set the number of Dial
Back Attempts, set the Dial Back Delay Value, and access the menus which are
used to define passwords and access rights. All parameters that are defined via
the System Parameters Menu are global, and will be applied to all
APS-8/16M ports.
Notes:
• The Site ID message cannot include double quotes.
• Both the Site ID and Password Directory will be cleared if the
APS-8/16M is initialized to default settings.
• The System Parameters Menu is only available in Supervisor Mode.
