I
to modify the Saved Parameter Values (i.e., assign the IP address and subnet
mask). You will be prompted to enter the IP address and subnet mask for the
connected device. Press

The password must be between 1 and 8 characters long
•
The password consists of a combination of any ASCII characters except
spaces
•
Passwords are case sensitive
You can password protect the serial port by pressing
P
in the Main Configuration
screen. You will be prompted to enter a password. Enter your password (do not use
spaces), and then press
Enter
. You will then be prompted for your password
whenever you log on. To remove password protection, select
P
and instead of
entering a password, press
Enter
.
Passwords are a way to make the management of the IMC Networks devices secure.
It is your responsibility to store and maintain the password lists. If the passwords are
lost, neither you nor IMC Networks has a way to "decode" it. Refer to the iView²
iConfig online help for more password information.
If the serial password is forgotten, you must contact tech support for assistance in
resetting the password. If the iConfig username and password are forgotten, you can
launch a console session through the serial port, and type the command,
cleandb
. If
both the serial and the iConfig passwords are forgotten, you must contact technical
support.
