Set the IDs of all Octet switching system configurations that will be connected to the same
subnet as shown in the following table. Continue this numbering system for all other Octet
switching system configurations connected to the same subnet.
Set/Change Password
You can set the Octet switch to a secure mode so that the Terminal Applications menu
cannot be accessed without first entering a password.
To activate security:
1. Select the Set/Change Password menu option. You will be prompted to decide if you
wish to continue. Enter a Y.
2. Type a password for this Octet switch and press Enter. This password can be up to
eight characters long.
3. You will be prompted to re-type the password. After completing this step, security
will be active and you will not be able to access Octet switch terminal operations
without the password.
To change the password:
Select the Set/Change Password menu option. You will be prompted to type the old
password and a new one. Re-enter the new password to verify.
CAUTION:
This password places your Octet switch terminal in a secure mode. This password should be guarded like
any network password and care should be taken to avoid forgetting or misplacing it. This password
cannot be reset or recovered if lost or forgotten. Should you lose your password, please contact Black Box
Technical Support for assistance.

NOTE:
“Trap” refers to a trap command used by manual devices to report events to the Network Management
