Multiserver 5000
144
11.5 Network Security
Protecting selected portions of the Command Mode
and the Command Facility involves two types of
security: password protection and lock-out
configuration.
PASSWORDS
Passwords are security protection for the
Multiserver. Four types of password protection can
be assigned to the Multiserver unit: Command
Facility, Channel, Class, and LCD/Keypad. Channel
and Class passwords can be displayed from the
Command Facility. Command Facility and
LCD/Keypad passwords are not recorded for
display anywhere. (If the Command Facility or
LCD/Keypad password is forgotten, a cold start is
required. A cold start returns the Multiserver to
factory defaults, thus erasing all configurations
done by the system manager or individual users.)
Password Syntax: Valid global and status
passwords must use upper
case alpha-numeric (A to Z, 0
to 9) characters, with a
maximum length of eight
characters.
NULL Passwords: By factory default, all
passwords are NULL (no)
passwords. If a password is
currently configured and is
no longer required, enter a
space at the password
prompt. Press <cr>.
Channel Passwords are configured in the Async
Switching Parameters menu (as option 9). For
information on configuring channel passwords, see
Section 10.7, Asynchronous Channel Switching
Parameters, and Table 10-2. To view channel
passwords, access Async Channel Switching
Parameters in the View Configuration menu. See
Section 10.12, Review Switching Configuration for
an Async Channel, for detailed information on this
procedure.
Class passwords are configured in the Class
Parameters Menu, as option 3. For information on
configuring class passwords, see Section 10.8,
Classes, and Table 10-3. To view the class passwords,
enter the Review Configuration menu and choose
option 5 (classes). Information on reviewing class
passwords is also found in Section 10.8, Classes.
Command Facility Passwords and the LCD/Keypad
Password are configured through the Passwords
menu, which is option 12 of the Configure Local
Nodes menu.
The three menu options are detailed in
Table 11-6, which is on the next page.
