Security

Defining Security

To control access to your server, you can implement several of the security measures described in your User's Reference, including password protection.

Password Overview

Two types of passwords are available with the PC Server 704. These are the administrative and user passwords. You can set both passwords using the Setup program and the System Configuration Utility program.

Note: Table 8 on page 281 provides the default values for all security-related data fields.

Enter Password appears on the screen to prompt you. (The passwords do not appear on the screen as you type them.) If you enter the wrong password, Enter Password appears again. After three incorrect attempts, you must turn off the server and start again.

Note: You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your passwords. For additional security, the user and administrative passwords should not be the same. Keep a record of your password in a secure place.

The following table summarizes the levels of security with the different levels of password protection.
