Clear Results

This option resets the self-test log that you access with the Show Results option. When you select this option, the message Self-Test Log Clearing dis- plays. After the command is finished executing, the message Self-Test Log Cleared displays.

If you clear the message log, you cannot retrieve the data.

Set Passcode (Front Panel)

The Set Passcode option provides security for front panel access. You can change or set the front panel passcode at any time or eliminate it altogether through the Set Passcode option. By default, the front panel does not have a passcode.

The passcode can only be entered by using numbers (any number except zero). After entering the desired passcode, press Enter. The prompt Verify Passcode displays. Enter the passcode again and press Enter.

Set a null passcode by pressing 0 and then pressing Enter. When the Verify Pass- word prompt displays, press 0 and Enter again. A null passcode grants unlimited access to front panel options.

Password Reset

You can create a list of system passwords with the terminal menus (see “Access Passwords” on page 5-16 for details). If you forget the password and are unable to log in to the terminal menus, use the Password Reset option. When you select this option, two items display in the LCD window: CHALLENGE # and RESPONSE #.

Call ADTRAN technical support, and tell them the challenge number. They use this to generate a random response number. Enter this response number in the

RESPONSE # field, and ATLAS 800PLUS inserts a default password into the sys- tem password list. You can then use the new default password to log into the ter- minal menus.
