Western Telematic APS-16M, APS-8M manual System Parameters Menu

Configuration

Notes:

•If you do not define at least one password that permits access to Supervisor Mode, then Supervisor Level commands will be available to all ports, and port access and configuration functions will not be password protected.

•If you wish to restrict users from changing APS-8/16M configuration parameters or connecting to restricted ports, you must define at least one password that permits access to Supervisor Mode as described in Section 5.4.1.

•If the unit is reset to default parameters, all passwords will be erased, and Supervisor Level commands will be available at all ports, without password protection.

Normally, passwords that permit access to Supervisor Mode can be entered at any port in order to gain access to Supervisor command functions. Note that if you wish to completely deny a port’s access to Supervisor Mode (even with a Supervisor Password), the Port Parameters menus (/P) can be used to disable the Supervisor Mode at any RS232 Port except for ports 1 and 2 (the System SetUp Ports.) The Supervisor Mode cannot be disabled at System SetUp Ports 1 and 2.

5.4. The System Parameters Menu

Before configuring individual ports, the System Parameters should be defined. The System Parameters Menu (/F) allows you to set the Site ID Message, enable/disable the Password on Dial Back Function, set the number of Dial Back Attempts, set the Dial Back Delay Value, and access the menus which are used to define passwords and access rights. All parameters that are defined via the System Parameters Menu are global, and will be applied to all APS-8/16M ports.

Notes:

•The Site ID message cannot include double quotes.

•Both the Site ID and Password Directory will be cleared if the APS-8/16M is initialized to default settings.

•The System Parameters Menu is only available in Supervisor Mode.
