The upload process is started by clicking the open icon or clicking
File
on the menu bar and then clicking

. A dialog box is then displayed (Figure 5-21) reminding you that the DECS-100 should be off-line
before uploading settings. Clicking

PASSWORD PROTECTION
Password protection guards against unauthorized changing or viewing of DECS-100 settings. A single
password protects all DECS-100 settings. The DECS-100 is delivered with a default password of
decs. Once
the password is changed, it should be stored in a secure location. If the user-defined password is lost or
forgotten, BESTCOMS-DECS100-32 must be reloaded to restore the default password.
Changing the Password
A new password can be programmed by performing the following steps.
1.
Click
Communications
on the menu bar and click
Password Change
on the drop-down menu. The Change
Password dialog box of Figure 5-22 appears.
2.
Type the current password in the "Enter your access
password" field of the Change Password dialog box and
press the Enter key on your keyboard.
3.
Another dialog box will appear with instructions for making
the password change. Click the OK button and type a new
password (8 alphanumeric characters, maximum) in the
"Enter your new password" field.
4.
Press the Enter or Tab key on your keyboard to advance
the cursor into the field labeled "Re-enter your new
password". Type the new password again to confirm the
changed password and press the Enter key. When the
Enter key is pressed, the new password is enabled and a
dialog box appears to remind you to keep your password
in a secure location.
CAUTION
Before uploading a settings file, remove operating power from the DECS-100,
disconnect the field wiring from terminals F+ and F–, and re-apply operating
power to the DECS-100.
NOTE
A password change can be made only after communication between BESTCOMS
and the DECS-100 is established.
