Using passwords
Your passwords prevent unauthorized or unintentional changes to your
Norstar system. To keep your telephone service secure, distribute the
password only to selected personnel or make use of the basic password
described below. Record your password in a secure place and change it
periodically.
If you forget the administration or basic passwords, you cannot do any
programming. Call your customer service representative to assign a new
password.
The password is a one to six-digit number.
The default System Coordinator password is
, which is the
same as
.
One password cannot be a subset of another one. For example, you cannot
have 123 and 12345.
Using a Basic password
In addition to a System Coordinator password, there is a Basic password.
This allows you to delegate some of the duties of being a system
coordinator to someone else without allowing access to sensitive
programming.
The default Basic password is
or .
You can enter the Basic password after the following feature codes:
(User Preferences)
(to change the system time and date)
(turn System Answer on or off)
(turn Custom Call Routing on or off)
Because the Basic password can be used to change the time, you should
give it out with care and change it when necessary (for example, when an
employee leaves the company). If restrictions, routing or other services
operate on a schedule, changing the time can allow someone to bypass the
programming.
