16.12. PASSWORD PROTECTION
NOTE
This is the only page where the superuser password is discussed
and can be removed for added security.
Password protection is required to prevent unauthorized personnel from gaining access to the RFL 9780
settings and parameters. The only menu that is password protected is the Programming Menu.
16.12.1 ENTERING THE PROGRAMMING, LOGIC PROGRAMMING OR
TEST MENUS
When you invoke the “P” command, the following prompt appears:
enter password:
Enter the password that has been stored in the RFL 9780's memory. The RFL 9780 gives you three
chances to enter the correct password. After the third incorrect password is entered, the RFL 9780
enters a lock-out mode. This mode will last for about five minutes, during which you will not be able to
enter the programming mode.
16.12.2 CHANGING THE PASSWORD
You can use the "C" command to change the password that can be used to enter the programming, logic
programming, or test modes.
