Global Security
This screen (Figure 14-9) allows you to set up password security. Each of three communication ports and
the four functional areas (Global, Settings, Reports, and Control) are protected with password security.
This allows the user to customize password protection for any or all ports. For example, you could allow
technicians to have global access (sometimes called a fourth level of access) to all three functional areas
via the front port. You could also restrict the rear port, which is connected to a modem to read-only
access.
If you select show passwords and notice that the default passwords have not been changed, then you
may change all four passwords. If the global password has been changed, a dialog box appears
explaining that you must enter the global password to enable viewing and editing the existing passwords.
After entering the global password, the passwords and enable boxes appear. You may then make
changes in any or all areas. Clicking a box for a specific communication port toggles the functional area
for that port either ON or OFF. Notice that the front panel human-machine interface (HMI) and
communications port zero are combined and considered as one.
