Fleet Password and Security
The control head ships from the factory unlocked (i.e., no Fleet Password set) and with
a default message set. The control head uses a numeric fleet password to prevent
unauthorized message set downloads. When the Message Creation software is installed,
a numeric fleet password is created by the installer. The password is stored into every
message set created by the installation. If the control head is unlocked, the first message
set loaded transfers the numeric Fleet Password to the keypad. Any subsequent message
sets loaded must match the Fleet Password from the original file; otherwise, the keypad
will not accept the file. The Fleet Password is also used to access the Security Menu to
change configuration options.
