Front Panel Operation
Modem 3600 4-11
Front Panel Security
The Front Panel Security feature provides password protection for front
panel menu access. The modem is shipped from the factory with this
feature disabled.
The Front Panel Security password is a 4-digit string that can be set to
any combination of digits from “0000” to “9999”. Selecting a password
of “0000” disables Front Panel Security; any other password enables it.
IMPORTANT: Without your password, you cannot access front panel
configuration. Keep your password in a safe place. If you forget your
Front Panel Security password, contact Technical Support. Refer to
“Calling Technical Support” section on page 12-2.
When this feature is enabled, it can be activated in these ways:
• Explicitly, by a front panel screen under Main Menu #7
• By the modem, when no front panel buttons have been pressed for
3 minutes
When Front Panel Security is activated, the front panel menu returns to
Main Menu #1 and the front panel is secured.
In secured state, the Main Menu #1 screen continues to maintain modem
status, but a password must be entered before other front panel screens
may be accessed. Pressing any front panel button causes the modem to
prompt for the front panel password. After the password has been
entered, a message briefly displays the result of the password validation
process and, depending on the result, Front Panel Security either
becomes inactive or returns to its active state.
