If you have a large number of Synergis™ units
in your system, you can update their passwords in batches from the Hardware
inventory task.
What you should know
- You need the Update access control unit password privilege to perform this
operation.
- Always test this feature on a few units before
applying it to a large batch of units of the same brand and model.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Hardware inventory task.
-
Generate a Hardware
inventory report to list the units in the report pane.
-
Ensure that the units whose password you want to update are online.
-
Select the units you want to update and click Update password
().
A warning dialog box opens with the message The password for each selected
unit will be changed.
-
Click OK.
The system automatically generates a strong password for each selected unit and
sends a password change request to each.
-
Confirm that the passwords have been updated by waiting a minute and then regenerating
the report.
In the
Last password change result column, the message
Password changed successfully is displayed.
NOTE: You can verify the password by
clicking
Show password (
) in the
Password column.
-
Export the new unit passwords and
keep them in a safe place.
