Unlock MP modem configuration

Before configuring the wireless access point and related fea‐ tures such as security setting you need to unlock the MP modem configuration.

This setting is password protected. To unlock the MP modem configuration:

1.In Watcher, select Tools > Options > Wireless Access Point > Password > Current and enter the current password. (The default password is MP3G.)

The MP modem configuration remains open for about five minutes. If you encounter an error message while setting up the wireless access point parameters, you may need to reopen the configuration lock to continue setting the parameters.

Change the password (optional)

You can change the factory default password, but you should consider this carefully.

Note: If you change the password and forget the new password, before changing any of the password-protected features you need to reset the modem to all the factory defaults. See “Reset the MP modem to factory defaults” on page 53.

To change the password:

1.In Watcher, go to Tools > Options > MP > Wireless Access Point.

2.Under Password, select Set new password, and from the drop‐down list, select Yes.

3.In the New password field, type the desired password. (It must be between 4 and 15 characters long.)

4.Click OK.
