5.4.1. The Password Directory
APS-8M passwords are defined using the "Edit Password Directory" menu,
which is accessed via the System Parameters menu (/F). In addition to
assigning command level privileges to each password, the Edit Password
Directory function also allows you to determine which ports each password
will be allowed to access, and includes prompts that are used to configure
several Dial Back parameters. The Password Directory allows for the
definition of up to 32 separate passwords.
Note:
The Edit Password Directory menu is only available when you have
logged into command mode using a password that permits access to
Supervisor Mode.
The /V command can also be issued to view the Password Directory.

command mode, and then type /F and press [Enter] to display the System
