The time and date for a far-end unit can be set from this screen. However, it will not
be displayed at the top right hand corner of the screen as with the near-end unit.
New Password
This field allows entry of a password of up to 10 characters. An empty string
(carriage return only) may be entered to disable the password feature. After
<enter> is pressed, the new password is activated and is no longer visible.
Therefore, type carefully when entering a new password and verify before pressing
<enter>. When the terminal interface is exited and later reactivated, this password
must be entered exactly to gain access. If the wrong password is entered, the
following message will appear:
Incorrect Password; Please Enter Again.
By using one or more special characters in the VT100 password, the LCD menu is
disabled. You may enable the LCD menu by removing the special character(s)
from the VT100 password. The special characters are as follows.

Do not exit the terminal interface program until the password procedure is fully
understood. If a password has been specified, it must be typed exactly to reenter the
program.
If you program a password and later forget it, contact TXPORT Technical support
for a one-time backdoor password. To get this password, TXPORT must have on
file, a letter on company letterhead stating the names of the people allowed to
access this password. The letter must be signed by an upper-level manager.
The reset operation sets all parameters to the factory default settings and zeros all
performance registers.
Maintenance Reset
This field will clear all user selectable parameters, performance registers,
passwords and alarms, but saves the IP Address supervisory port rate and SLIP
port rate. All alarm threshold parameters will be reset to default values. The unit
reloads start-up configuration settings from the default parameters stored in ROM.
Pressing <enter> on this field brings up the following warning:
DELETE ALL DATA AND RESTART UNIT?
(NO!)
(YES)
