Extron electronic MPX 866 A manual Administrator Password and User Password fields

Administrator Password and User Password fields

The Administrator Password field displays the password required to log on to the matrix switcher via the Ethernet port with all of the rights and privileges of an administrator. The User Password field displays the password required to log on to the matrix switcher via the Ethernet port as a user, without all of the rights and privileges of an administrator. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper-case and lower-case alphanumeric characters.

While you are logged on as a user, both password fields are masked with asterisks (************) as a security measure.

NOTES: • Editing the Administrator Password field while connected via the

Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron

recommends editing this field using one of the serial ports and protecting

the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator password to

qualified and knowledgeable personnel only.

• An administrator password must be created before a user password can be

created.

• The following characters are invalid or not recommended in passwords: {space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ “ ; : \ and ?.

Edit either password field as follows:

1.Click in the desired Password field. The pointer tool becomes a text cursor.

2.Edit the case-sensitive password as desired.

3.Press the <Tab> key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Password field.

4.Click the Take button to make the password change take effect.
