number signs [#]). For more information about provisioning the Local Tools
menu password, see the menupwd parameter in Table 122 "Provisioning
info block format" (page 512).
If an incorrect password is entered, the areas of the local menu do not
open and you are permitted a maximum of two more attempts to enter
the correct password. After three consecutive failed password attempts,
the IP Phone ignores the password entry for five minutes. During this
time period, the IP Phone ignores even a correct password entry. The IP
Phone displays the password prompt, and password entries appear to be
accepted, but the password prompt window closes. This process limits
the possibility of an unauthorized user guessing the correct password by
reducing the guess entry rate to three guesses every five minutes.
When the correct password is entered, menu access remains active for
five minutes. During this time period, you can freely navigate, exit, and
enter the menu be without being prompted again for the password. When
the five minutes expires, the menu closes and you must reenter the
password to access the menu.
When the full menu lock is active, you are prompted to enter the menu
lock password whenever you double-press the Services key. When
the partial menu lock is active you are prompted to enter the menu
lock password whenever you access the Local Diagnostics or Network
Configuration menu items from the Local Tools menu. You are always
prompted to enter the fixed password whenever you access the Lock
Menu sub menu.
You can control the local menu lock manually using the Local Menu,
DHCP, or automatic provisioning features. The DHCP or automatic
provisioning methods are only processed if the menu lock is configured to
"Auto Lock" in the Local Menu page. Select "Menu Lock Enable" on the
Auto page to automatically select the Auto Lock mode or select the Auto
Lock item from the Lock Menu.
