3.10 Password Protection
On tabletop modems the access to the Monitor can be protected by a password
to avoid unauthorized reconfiguration of modems installed at the customer site.
While in protected mode it is required to enter a password before any Monitor
command can be executed from a terminal connected to the local RS-232 port of
the modem.
Password protection is only active on the local RS-232 port. There is no pass-
word protection when accessing the modem through the DSL EOC. This allows
to reset the password of a protected modem configured as STU-R (DSL slave)
from the STU-C (DSL master).
One command is allowed without entering a password while password protection
is active: the DSLSLAVE command. DSLSLAVE configures a modem from DSL
master to DSL slave. If the password of a modem configured as DSL master has
been lost then this modem can be reconfigured as DSL slave with DSLSLAVE,
allowing to reset the password through the DSL EOC.
Notes:
• Password commands through the DSL EOC are not possible if the ACU48 is
present in the subrack.
• Password commands are only available on tabletop modems
• Password protection is disabled by default.
