...4 CONFIGURATION

4.4.2 Security

Change user names, access privileges and passwords.
Notes.
• User 1 is the System Administrator and is able to change user names/access privileges and enter initial passwords for all
users. Other users cannot change their user names and access privileges once set by User 1. All users may change their
own passwords.
• All other parameters can be changed only by the System Administrator (User 1).

Set the method of access to the Configuration level. If
'Password protected' is selected, access is by means of the
password set above.
Note. If 'Internal switch protected' is selected, access to the
Configuration level for all users is prohibited once the
changes have been saved and made active. Access to the
configuration level is then achieved only by setting the
internal security switch to the 'Configuration Level Not
Protected' position – see Fig. 4.2.
When set to 'On', access to the Setup level is password
protected and restricted to users with setup access
privileges. Each user must enter their own unique password.
Passwords are entered initially by the System Administrator
but, subsequently, any user can change their own password.
When this parameter is set to 'Yes', each user has to change
their password after it is used for the first time following initial
configuration – see also 'User 2 Password' on next page.
Enter the time period after which all passwords will expire.
After this period of time, all users have to change their
passwords.
Enter the time period after which an inactive user's access
privileges are de-activated. A user is considered inactive if
their password has not been used. A user is de-activated by
removal of their access privileges and can be re-activated
only by the System Administrator (User 1).
