Password Requirements
1) To modify password requirements, go to Control Panel and Administrative Tools.
2) Select Local Security Policy.

4) Select password Policy.
5) Change Password Policies such that “mts_rt” is a valid password. If you can not change the polices, see
Work Group below and then come back to this section.
6) Go through the User Accounts/User Manager section again.
Work Group (To be performed only if password requirements can not be changed)
1) Choose System in the Control Panel.
2) Click on Change settings in the Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings.
3) Click on the Change button.
4) Change Radio button from Domain to Work Group and give it any name. Windows may reboot after Ok
is clicked. You will need an Administrator password to log onto windows.
5) Go through the Password Requirements directions again. Once the MTS controller is communicating
with the PC (System Loader and Station Manager load), you should be able to change back to a Domain.
Some network Domains will check the PC for user accounts that don’t meet their security requirements
(i.e. Six character password of mts_rt account) and delete the account. Once the MTS controller is
rebooted it will not be able to log onto the PC and the above Work Group steps will have to be
performed again. It is up the network Administrator to allow the use of the six character password on
their network.
Persistent Route (Needed for multiple processor systems only, mostly FlexTest IIm’s).
Note: The network card must have a successful link to the controller or the persistent route addition will fail.
The Test PC program will not detect this failure.
1) From an MSDOS window type “route –p add 148.150.204.0 mask 255.255.255.0 148.150.203.191”.
2) To check type “route –p print”. To delete and start over type “route –p delete xxx” (Route entered).
