If the PS2000A has a super password, the network server and the DPTGT must send out
the new password together with the old one when modifying a super password. Only
when the old super password matches the original one in the PS2000A will the new super
password be valid. The network server and the DPTGT use the WRIT command to
modify a super password as shown in Table 29.

When the PS2000A sets the super password, the network server and the DPTGT continue
the following operation only after receiving the returned data from the PS2000A. If they
don’t receive any information from the PS2000A within 15 minutes, the current set-up
fails. The PS2000A is powered off and then powered on again.
When setting the new super password, the PS2000A will check if the Device Property
Table storage is empty first. If not, it will take about 10 seconds for the PS2000A to clear
the storage. Then, the PS2000A will return a successful message “setting super password
to the network server or the DPTGT.” If the Device Property Table storage is empty, the
PS2000A will return a successful message “setting the super password to the network
server or the DPTGT.”
When modifying the super password, if the password is modified successfully, the
PS2000A will return a successful message of modifying the super password to the
