Parameter
Description
CSTA3 user
CSTA3 user name of the system. Entering a name opens an input dialog in which you can determine and confirm the new name, then return to the configuration dialog.
CSTA3 password

CSTA-login on the system is not possible if the CSTA3 password entered here does not correspond to the system password.
