Programming the Rack-Mount
Modules
The Multi-Mount Rack has an Administration Port built into the
back. If you connect your computer to this Administration Port, you
can administer passwords and run diagnostics for all 12 Rack-
Mount Switch Modules.
NOTE:
Before you can program the Rack-Mount Modules, you must install
them into the Multi-Mount Rack. See Chapter 3, “Installation” for
the procedure to do this.
You administer the passwords by using the Password Manager
program. This program is not packaged with the Multi-Mount Rack
or the Rack-Mount Switch Module; you must order it separately
(PEC 2174-PSA[A]).
Connecting the Multi-Mount Extender
Rack to the Computer or Terminal
Connect one end of a straight-through RS-232 cable to the Com
Port on your computer and the other end to the DB9 Administration
Port on the Multi-Mount Rack.

Issue 3   July 1997   2-15 Password Manager Program
The Password Manager Program is the software that allows you to
enter, sort, print, save, and upload passwords to the Rack-Mount
Switch Modules.
! Security Alert:
Save password files to a floppy disk only, and store the disk
in a secure place.
NOTE:
Different from the Standalone Switch Module, the Multi-Mount
Rack does not allow any administration by the Remote Module
user. Consequently, Remote Module users cannot enable, change,
or disable their own passwords; passwords can only be changed by
the system administrator through the Password Manager Program.
Installing the Password
Manager Program
Follow these steps to install the Password Manager Program onto
an IBM-compatible computer with Windows™ Version 3.1 or
higher:
1. Place the supplied diskette into the computer (normally
Drive A).
2. From the Windows Program Manager, select RUN.
3. Type in A:\SETUP.EXE.
4. Press Enter.
