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

permitted by the password definition.
