and add passwords to the password directory. To access the Add Name/
Passwords menu, activate the Edit Password Directory Menu as described in
Section 5.4.2, then type 1 and press [Enter]. The Add Name/Password menu
will be displayed as shown in Figure 5.3. The Add Name/Password Menu
allows you to assign the following parameters:
1. Name: Assigns a username to the password. Note that usernames are not
required when logging into command mode, and are used for descriptive
purposes only.
2. Password: After keying in the password, the unit will prompt you to
verify the password by re-keying it.
3. Dial Back #: Defines the number that the APS-8/16M will dial when the
Dial Back feature is enabled and the unit is contacted via modem. For
more information on the Dial Back Mode, please refer to Section 5.4.2.
4. Dial Back Mode: Enables/Disables the Dial Back Mode for this

permitted by the password definition.

In order to access Supervisor Mode from any given port,
the port at which the password is issued must also permit Supervisor
