Establishing Access Security
on a Port

Although the password feature is available, it is not

required as a factory default. If used, it ensures access
security before device control is passed to a device
connected to a port. The password configuration option
can be individually set for the COM or MODEM port, or
both if security is needed on both port types. The default
is None. The password itself is set separately (refer to the
following section,
