Password Security

A password is required to perform programming for security purposes. Do not disclose the password. This will avoid unauthorized access and possible dial through fraud.
Warning to the Administrator regarding the system password
1.Please inform the customer of the importance of the password and the possible dangers.
2.Please maintain the secrecy of the password. This will avoid unauthorized access and possible dial through fraud.
3.Please change the password periodically.
4.We strongly recommend that a password of 10 digits is used for maximum protection against hackers.
5.If the system password is forgotten, you can examine the backup of the system programming.
•If you have a backup system data, you can find the password by loading the backup system data onto the PC and check the password using the programming tool. As for a backup system data, refer to "3.3.4 Hybrid IP-PBX Maintenance".
•If you do not have a backup system data, you have to set the PBX to the factory default and reprogram it. Therefore, we recommend to save a backup system data.

Notice

1.During a long programming session, it is highly recommended that you periodically save the system data to the SD Memory Card. You can think of system data as stored in RAM, whereas SD Memory Card as stored on a hard disk. If the PBX undergoes a sudden power failure or system reset for some reason, all the system data will be lost.
To save the system data to the SD Memory Card, (1) click "SD Memory Backup" icon before resetting the PBX or turning off the power, or (2) exit the KX-TDA Maintenance Console so that the PBX starts automatically to save the system data.
2.When the PBX is initialized, not all data is taken from the SD Memory Card. The data for present status of extension FWD/DND button is taken from battery backup memory in the PBX.
3.There are characters that cannot be shown on the KX-T7600 series PT display, even when programmed in the KX-TDA Maintenance Console. The KX-T7600 series PTs can only display the characters shown in the white cells in the following table.
