5.4. Defining the Site ID and Supervisor
Password
Before configuring individual ports, the Site ID and Supervisor
Password should be defined. The Site ID indicates the location
or name of the APS-8M; the Supervisor Password restricts access
to sensitive command functions. The Site ID and Supervisor
Password are defined via the System Parameters menu (/F).
Notes:
·
The Site ID cannot include double quotes.
·
The Supervisor Password cannot include an
asterisk, forward slash, spaces, or double quotes.
·
Both the Site ID and Supervisor Password will be
cleared if the APS is initialized to default settings.
·
The APS will not allow you to select a Supervisor
Password that is the same as an existing Port
Password.
·
The System Parameters Menu is only available in
Supervisor Mode.
1. Access the Command Mode. Type /F [Enter] to display
the System Parameters Menu.
2. Site ID Message: (Up to 32 chars.; Default = undefined)
Type 1 and press [Enter], a prompt will appear. Key in
the desired text and press [Enter] . The Site ID will be
listed on the Port Status and Port Diagnostic Screens.
3. Supervisor Password: (Up to 16 characters; Default =
undefined) Type 2 and press [Enter], a prompt will
appear. Key in the desired password, then press [Enter].
The APS-8M will prompt you to re-key the password to
confirm spelling and capitalization. Key in the password a
second time, and then press [Enter].
Notes:
·
The Supervisor Password is case sensitive. Make
certain to note the exact password entered,
including the case of each letter.
·
Make certain to write down your Supervisor
Password. If the password is lost or forgotten, you
will not be able to access Supervisor Level
commands unless you initialize the unit and clear
all parameters as described in Section 4.3.
