1.1.1

System Administration

VPS programming can be performed by the System Administrator, System Manager, and Message
Manager. The type of programming performed by each is very different. While the System Manager
and Message Manager can use their telephones to program the PBX, the System Administrator must
use KX-TVM/NCV Maintenance Console and a PC.
VPS programming performed by the System Administrator is referred to as "system administration".
– System administration involves creating or changing VPS settings that control the manner
in which VPS performs, and is usually done before any other programming. (The system
manager can program some of these parameters with a telephone.)
– System administration can be performed by only one person at a time: a second person
attempting to program the VPS will be denied access to system administration.
1.1.2

Password Security

To maintain system security, a password is required to perform system programming. When KX-TVM/
NCV Maintenance Console is started for the first time, the Quick Setup needs to be set. Then, you
will be asked to set the system password before the setup. To avoid unauthorised access and possible
fraudulent dialling, do not disclose the password.
Warning to the Administrator regarding the system password
1.
Please inform the customer of the importance of the password and the possible dangers if
it becomes known to others.
2.
To avoid unauthorised access and possible fraudulent dialling, maintain the secrecy of the
password.
3.
Please change the password periodically.
4.
To prevent unauthorised access, we strongly recommend selecting a long and random
password.
5.
If the system password is forgotten, you have to reset the VPS to its factory defaults and
reprogram it.
