The ICIM Password

Using the ICIM Password

The ICIM allows you to send configuration commands, to change alarm thresholds,

and restore factory default settings in Prisma II modules. In order to ensure that no

unauthorized changing of these parameters occurs, you have the option of using a

password protection system. Password authorization only applies to the

configurable parameters. Status and alarm information is always available on the

ICIM regardless of password implementation.

The password system consists of:

•

A user-settable password – User Psw. The user password is created, entered,

and changed through the ICIM keypad and displayed on the ICIM LCD. The

password must be exactly eight digits using only the 0-9 number keys.

A service password - SA Psw. Used only by Cisco personnel.

•

The ability to change an existing user password - Change Psw.

•

The ability to disable the user password function - Disable Psw.

Important: If you only want to monitor status and alarm data, simply skip the

password function when it appears on the ICIM menu. You can access all module

status and alarm information without a password. However, once a user password

is entered, you are required to enter it every time you want to set configurable

parameters to any module controlled by that ICIM. See Expired Password or

Inactive Password Messages and Entering the User Password that follow.
