! Security Alert:
Using the Remote Module gains access to the  features of
the DEFINITY ECS, including access to WATS lines, FX
lines, etc., which are subject to toll fraud. Passwords should
be as long as allowed. Passwords should be hard to guess
and therefore should not contain:
nall the same numbers (for example, 88888888)
nsequential characters (for example, 987654321)
ncharacter strings associated with you or with the remote

Considerations
Consider the following when programming the Switch Module:
nUp to 100 passwords can be programmed into each Switch
Module.
nOnly one Remote Module at a time can be “on-line” with an
individual Switch Module.
nPasswords are retained in non-volatile memory and are not
affected by power outages.
nAll passwords must contain 8 to 10 digits.
nEach password begins with two digits (00–99). The 00
password is reserved for the system administrator and...

Programming the Standalone
Switch Module
The system administrator must program a password for each
Remote Module connected to the Standalone Switch Module. To
do this, you should directly connect a Remote Module to the Switch
Module and program the passwords for all the Remote Modules
that will be connected to this Switch Module.
Connecting the Standalone Switch
Module to the Remote Module
Ideally you should initialize and test the Standalone Switch Module...

administrator password, and press the Drop button on the
telephone. A valid password must be entered to allow the
telephone to be connected to the PBX.

If this is the first time you are entering your system
administrator password, the default is “00000000.” All Remote
Module user passwords are disabled as a default.

2-8   Issue 3   July 1997 The first two digits of each password identify each one of the 100
passwords (00–99). When you assign each remote user a two-digit
user number, this user number becomes the first two digits of the
users password. A user is permitted to change only his or her own
password. If the first two digits of the new password do not
correspond to the user number, the new password is not accepted.
An exception to the above is password “00” which is used by the
system...

lines, most liable to toll fraud. Passwords should be as long
