SECURITY
To make the COM1000 secure from unauthorized users, you can set it to run in the PROTECTED MODE.
This is an option that must be activated by the user. The following are the steps to enabling this feature.
Step 1: Set the device Password
BEFORE activating PROTECTED MODE, it is necessary to select a device password. This
will be the secret password used at the serial or Telnet command prompt. The factory default
password is ‘SIMPLE’ (uppercase).
To set the new device password, enter the command AT*PASSWORD=xxxxxx, where
‘xxxxxx’ is any alphanumeric character stream up to 20 characters.
Step 2: Activate PROTECTED MODE
Now that you have a known password, you can set the device to operate in PROTECTED
MODE. This means that users will need to know the device password to get past the
command line prompt.
To activate/enable PROTECTED MODE, type the command AT*PROTECT=1 at the prompt.
The screen will display a ‘1’ and an ‘OK’ to show that the command was accepted. The ‘>’
symbol will now be shown as the as the prompt. Pressing the ENTER key will result in a
password challenge. To access the device, enter the dev ice password (xxxxxx from above).
