Table 10-3. Class Configuration (continued)

Option		Default	Description
3.	Class Password	None	Password protection is available for all ports assigned to a class. If a password
			is assigned, the user will be prompted for the class password before being
			allowed to continue. After two unsuccessful password attempts, the call will be
			disconnected. Access to any port in the class via matrix switching is protected
			by the class password.
			To set a password, select this option and the following prompt will appear:
			ENTER CLASS PASSWORD [](^X TO ABORT):
			Enter the password. (To cancel password protection, enter a space.) Press
			<cr>. To abort the process without changing or creating a password, press ^X.
			Passwords may have up to eight alphanumeric characters (a to z, A to Z, or
			0 to 9). Passwords are not case-sensitive, so SESAME, sesame, and Sesame
			are the same password.
4.	Class Message	None	The Class Message is the message that appears on the screen when the user
			successfully connects to the requested class. This is a user-configurable
			message for which there is no default.
			To set the class message, select this option and the following prompt will
			appear:
			ENTER CLASS MESSAGE (^X TO ABORT):
			Enter the message. (To delete a message without assigning a new one, enter a
			space.) Press <cr>. To abort without changing the message, press ^X.
			Up to 31 ASCII characters (except for control characters) may be used. Special
			rules apply when entering the following characters into the class message:
			Desired Character	What to
			for Message	Input	Notes
			^X	<esc><esc>x	Without the <esc> key, ^X will
					abort the process
			<esc>	<esc><esc>	To include an escape in the text,
			(escape)		it must be preceded by an <esc>.
			;	<esc>;	To include a semicolon in the text,
					it must be preceded by an <esc>.
			carriage return,	;	The semicolon inserts a carriage
			line feed		return and line feed. This counts
					as two characters.
