Configuring the Model 1133A
7.15.3
Flash Memory Security
To access 1133A flash memory features, permission must first be granted through 1133A security.
Security features protect the integrity of and guard access to records stored within the 1133A
flash memory module.
It also guards against the inadvertent reprogramming of the 1133A.
Administrators can setup various security levels to limit access to memory and the 1133A
configuration. Since records can readily be erased, it is important to understand and set policies
for the usage of flash memory in the 1133A. For more information on granting permissions, see
“1133A Security.”

Checking Flash Memory Status

any reason, as configuring flash memory will erase any existing data. See Figure 7.27.
