EditPasswdTable

The Password Table is the modem’s security database.

It contains all essential information for each password
stored in the modem’s nonvolatile memory. The
information associated with each password is known as a
record. Records are identified by an index which is a
numeric name for a single record. A password’s record is
retrieved by entering its index.

The Edit Password Table group allows you to view

and/or change the modem’s security database table. To do
this, you must retrieve a password’s records by selecting
its index (as described below).

The Edit Password Table group consists of the

following options: Select Index, Password Type, Edit
Password, and Save Edit.

To access EditPasswdTable from Set Access Ctrl, make

the following selections:
