Even if you're not in the market for an IP codec now—heck, even if you're not a Telos customer—this change is something you should contemplate. In recent months, the last thing our technicians do before boxing up a new Z/IP ONE will be to change the password needed to access the web page. Each new codec will receive a unique password, based on characteristics that cannot be discovered from the network side, but which are easily seen by the user. An instruction card accompanying each new device will describe how to access the web page.

Three stations, under many hands, have been added in the meantime. "At some point, as the situation of the aggregate plant became untenable, someone suggested calling the guy who built the original place.” Ed did a site evaluation and found the production room had been cannibalized to keep station 2 operating, and stations 3 and 4 were using a witch’s brew of equipment, some of which he had been partially involved in the installation of. Meantime, the rack room, which had grown from two to four (now six) racks, had suffered, in Ed’s words, some very unfortunate feats of engineering.

This explosive growth was one of the driving forces behind a comparable expansion in consumer electronics, and in particular, hi-fi gear. Component stereo gear was the bread and butter of companies such as Pioneer, [Marantz](http://www.us.marantz.com/us/pages/home.aspx) and [Denon](https://usa.denon.com/us). Consumers could purchase tuners, amps and tape decks at a price point they could afford, and upgrade as new technology and/or larger paychecks became available. At the other end of the spectrum were modular stereo systems. These devices usually had all of the above components, along with a turntable, in one chassis. Since all of the electronics were usually on a single motherboard, and there was only one chassis, they could be manufactured fairly inexpensively. There were two varieties of modular stereos. The [large cabinet systems](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpl2MtHRpQ4) found in virtually every living room during the 1970s was one type, and there were also [tabletop units](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRWBXmpsOmU).
