You can view the history of Synergis™ unit
password changes made through Security Center, using the
Unit Assistant role. You can use this information to diagnose problems that might have occurred
during a password change.
What you should know
- You
need the View/export unit passwords privilege to perform this task.
- Password history details include when a unit's password was
changed, what the previous password was, and what the password was changed to. You can use
this information to resolve connectivity issues by retrying old passwords.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Access control task, and click the Roles and
units view.
-
Select a Synergis™ unit, and then click the
Properties tab.
-
In the Connection settings section, click Unit password
history.
The Unit password history dialog box opens showing the
details of the five previous password change attempts including the date, the previous
password, and the new password.
-
Click Recover password to recover all previous passwords.
NOTE: The Recover password button is only available if there is a
connection issue between the unit and Security Center.
If the Unit Assistant role is able to communicate with a password in the
history, Security Center uses this password and
reconnects the unit.
