spaces
•
Passwords are case sensitive
You can password protect the serial port by pressing

spaces), and then press

Passwords are a way to make the management of the IMC Networks devices secure.
It is your responsibility to store and maintain the password lists. If the passwords are
lost, neither you nor IMC Networks has a way to "decode" it. Refer to the iView²
iConfig online help for more password information.
If the serial password is forgotten, you must contact tech support for assistance in
resetting the password. If the iConfig username and password are forgotten, you can
launch a console session through the serial port, and type the command,
cleandb
. If
both the serial and the iConfig passwords are forgotten, you must contact technical
support.
