Extron Electronics DMS 1600_2000_3200_3600 User Guide - Manual (Page 76)

DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 • Matrix Software 70
Administrator Password and User Password fields
See figure 38 , on the page 67.
The Administrator Password field displays the password required to log on to the matrix
switcher via the Ethernet port with all of the administrator rights and privileges. The User
Password field displays the password required to log on to the matrix switcher via the
Ethernet port as a user, without all of the administrator rights and privileges. Passwords are
case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper-case and lower-case alphanumeric characters.
While you are logged on as a user, both password fields are masked with asterisks
(************) as a security measure.
NOTES:
• Editing the Administrator Password field while connected via the Ethernet
port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends
editing this field using either the serial port or USB port and protecting the Ethernet
access to this screen by assigning an administrator password to qualified and
knowledgeable personnel only.
• An administrator password must be created before a user password can be
created.
• The following characters are invalid or not recommended in passwords:
{space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
Edit either password field as follows:
1. Click in the desired Password field. The pointer tool becomes a text cursor.
2. Edit the case-sensitive password as desired.
3. Press on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the Password field.
4. Click Take to make the password change take effect.
