Password
To prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing the interface and
altering a multiplexer’s configuration settings, you can assign a
password to the program. Any person who starts the program will be
required to enter the password, regardless of how they access the
program (i.e., RS-232 port or Telnet program). The default value for the
interface is no password.
To specify a new password, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, choose System configuration.
2. From the System Configuration Menu, select Omega Options.
The Omega Options Menu in Figure 27 is displayed.

Press the Enter key.
❑ The password can be up to 20 characters. The password can
consist of the letters A to Z in uppercase and lowercase, as well as
the numbers 1 to 9. It is recommended that you avoid special
characters, such as a space, asterisk (*), or exclamation point (!).
The password is case-sensitive.
❑ The password displays as a series of asterisks.
❑ To delete the current password but not assign a new password,
enter a space in the Password field.
The new password is now activated on the multiplexer. You will
