6.9.4 Simple password protection
For devices without Ethernet interface the RBAC is reduced to a simple password protection based on the
standard user ‚admin‘. If the user and permissions management is activated, the user has to enter a
password before executing protected functions. Protected functions are changing settings parameters or
deleting or resetting measurement data via the service menu. Subsequent to a successful password input
the access remains open until an input timeout occurs.
Note
: The password is stored in the device in encrypted form only and never transmitted in plain text.
The management of the RBAC settings is done via the menu Settings | Security system | Users and
Permissions:
Changing / defining the password
a) Select ‘Change password’ (if the
management of users and permissions is
active, you have to login first)
b) Enter the present password
c) Enter the new password
d) Re-enter password
You have to use a secure password with the following restrictions:
- Minimum password length 8 characters (maximum 32)
- At least three different types of characters must be used (uppercase, lowercase, numbers,
special characters)
ATTENTION
: A reset to factory default will reset also the password (factory setting:
„CBM_1234 “). But for a factory reset the present password needs to be entered. If this
password is no longer known the device must be sent back to the factory!
