Password Protection

1.Ensure that the DNH Ethernet connection is not connected to the network by removing the RJ-45 plug from the Ethernet port located on the edge of the Communications board.

2.Connect a standard 9-pin COM cable from the designated PC COM port (see page 49, step 7.) to RS232 Configuration Port located on etiher Hub ‘A’ or ‘B’.

3.Turn on the AC power to the DNH.

All utility programs on the DNH Communication board are password pro- tected. This insures the data integrity of all configuration data and limits unwanted access of the User’s network. To access any of the programs you must have a logon password.
