Security Features and Password Lockout
The software supports two levels of password-protected security – User and Supervisor. Supervisor is the higher access
level, allowing all parameters to be locked, whilst User level permits any parameters not locked by the supervisor to be
locked. The supervisor also has the ability to clear the users password.
To begin the locking process, press the button on the toolbar. This will display a dialogue prompting for a
password. Selection of which lock level is to be enforced is also available.
Enter a password of up to four characters. It is advisable that the user and
supervisor have different passwords. Remember that the supervisor has the ability
to clear (and overwrite) the user’s password. Pressing ‘OK’ will then display the
actual screen where locking decisions are made.
Each category has a choice of either ‘No Locking’,
’Changes Locked’ where the parameter is still viewable but
cannot be adjusted, or ‘Display Locked’ where the
parameter cannot be accessed, its entry being replaced by a
‘Locked!’ message.
It is also possible to secure parts of the system software to
prevent, for example, memory recalls or updates to the
stored system configurations.
Once the locks have been set up, there are two possible
courses of action. If ‘Stay Open’ is pressed then the system
will remain unlocked, but a previews of the locks will be in
evidence in the relevant places. Parameters which will lock
when the lockout level is ‘closed’ (using the ‘Close Level’
button) appear highlighted in pink.
Note that, even if the locks are selected to stay open, there will be a prompt to confirm whether the lock states are to be
transmitted to the units.
If ‘Yes’ is selected, all the units will become locked with the password chosen. If
subsequently the lock level is ‘closed’, the software will ask for confirmation of
the password once more, and then the dialogue shown on the left will appear as
before.
