1.2 PC Programming
1.2.1 Installing and Starting the Maintenance Console
System programming, diagnosis and administration can be performed with a PC using the Maintenance Console.
This section describes how to install and start the Maintenance Console. |

Notice

1. |
During a long programming session, it is highly recommended that you periodically save the system data to the SD Memory Card. If the PBX undergoes a sudden power failure or if the system is reset for some reason, all the system data in RAM will be lost. However, if system data has been saved to the SD Memory Card, it can be easily restored.
To save the system data to the SD Memory Card, (1) click the "SD Memory Backup" icon before resetting the PBX or turning off the power, or (2) exit the Maintenance Console so that the PBX automatically saves the system data. |
|
2. |
The PC will not perform any shutdown operation, or enter the power-saving system standby mode while the Maintenance Console is connected to the PBX.
To perform either of the operations above, first close the connection to the PBX. |
CAUTION
|
Do not remove the SD Memory Card while power is supplied to the PBX. Doing so may cause the PBX to fail to start when you try to restart the system. |
1.2.2 Password Security
To maintain system security, system passwords are required to access certain programming functions of the PBX. By giving different users access to different passwords, it is possible to control the amount of programming that each user is able to perform.
The following types of system passwords are available: |
|
Password |
Description |
Format | |
|
| Used with the user-level programmer code to access user-level PC programming. The installer can specify which system programming settings are available. |
|
|
| System Password for Administrator |
|
| Used with the administrator-level programmer code to access administrator-level PC programming. The installer can specify which system programming settings are available. |
|
| System Password for Installer |
|
| Used with the installer-level programmer code to access installer-level PC programming. All system programming settings are available. |
|
|
| Warning to the Administrator or Installer regarding the system password |
| 1. |
Please provide all system passwords to the customer. |
| 2. |
To avoid unauthorized access and possible abuse of the PBX, keep the passwords secret, and inform the customer of the importance of the passwords, and the possible dangers if they become known to others. |
| 3. |
The PBX has default passwords preset. For security, change these passwords the first time that you program the PBX. |
| 4. |
Change the passwords periodically. |
| 5. |
It is strongly recommended that passwords of 10 numbers or characters be used for maximum protection against unauthorized access. For a list of numbers and characters that can be used in system passwords, see 1.1.2 Entering Characters. |
| 6. |
If a system password is forgotten, it can be found by loading a backup of the system data into a PC, and checking the password using the Maintenance Console software. If you do not have a backup of the system data, you must reset the PBX to its factory defaults and reprogram it. Therefore, we strongly recommend maintaining a backup of the system data. For more information on how to back up the system data, refer to the on-line help of the Maintenance Console.
However, as system passwords can be extracted from backup copies of the system data file, do not allow unauthorized access to these files. |
