Working with passwords
SL-APM has no factory-assigned password. You can set a password and enable or disable a password (if
you have set a password). SL-APM has an override switch if you forget your password. For more information,
see "Using the security override (on page 57 )".
SL-APM has only one login account. This account is the “Administrator” account. If a password is assigned
to the administrator account, the password is stored on the SL-APM controller. If you move the controller to
another SL-APM enclosure, the password moves with the controller.
Configuring Ethernet requires a password.
Setting SL-APM passwords
To set the password, enter SET PASSWORD.
You are prompted for a password when you access SSH, Telnet, or serial port access to the SL-APM. You can
have only one password for SL-APM.
The password must be between 8 and 31 characters, and can include:
• Uppercase letters
• Lowercase letters
• Underscores (_)
• Dashes (-)
• At signs (@)
• Pound signs (#)
• Carets (^)
• Ampersands (&)
• Exclamation points (!)
• Plus symbols (+)
• Equal symbols (=)
• Tilde (~)
• Numerical values between 0–9
To save and enable the password, press Enter.
Alternatively, you can set the password by entering SET PASSWORD <”password”>. For example, enter
the following:
SET PASSWORD "alphabravo"
