Password Policy
There are two passwords present for the firmware. The MEBX password is the password that is entered when a user is
physically at the system. The network password is the password that is entered when accessing an ME enabled system
through the network. This option determines when network password and the MEBX password will be synched. The MEBX
password can still be modified by users directly in front of the system. However, depending on the option selected below, the
network password and the MEBX password may be different. The settings are:
Default Password Only – MEBX password and the network password will only be synched when the password is
changed from the default password. After the MEBX password is changed from the default value, the network password
and the MEBX password maybe different.
During Setup and Configuration – MEBX password and the network password will be synched during the setup and
configuration state. After the setup and configuration process is complete, the passwords maybe different.
Anytime – MEBX password and network password will be synched when either the MEBX password or the network
password is changed.
