ICIM Password
43
ICIM Password
The ICIM allows you to send configuration commands, change alarm
thresholds, and restore factory default settings in Prisma II modules. To
prevent unauthorized changes to these parameters, you have the option of
using a password protection system. Password authorization only applies to
configurable parameters. Status and alarm information is always available on
the ICIM, regardless of password implementation.
Note: The following instructions pertain to the use of the ICIM2 front-panel
interface (LCD and keyboard). Remote password and other administrative
functions are also supported using CLI Commands or the ICIM Web Interface.
For details, see the Prisma II Platform Remote User Interface Guide, System
Release 2.03 , part number 4025477.
Password Protection System
The ICIM menu options available in the password protection system are
shown here.
ICIM Menu
Option Description
User Psw A user-settable password.
¡
Created, entered, and changed by the system operator(s)
¡
Must be exactly eight digits, using only the 0-9 number keys
Change Psw Changes an existing user password.
Disable Psw Disables the user password function.
SA Psw A service password used by factory personnel only.
Important: If you only want to monitor status and alarm data, skip the
password function when it appears on the ICIM menu. You can access all
module status and alarm information without a password.
However, once a user password is entered, you are required to enter it every
time you want to set configurable parameters to any module controlled by
that ICIM. Refer to
Expired Password or Inactive Password Messages (on
page 44) and To Enter the User Password (on page 44).
To Access the Password Menu
The Password menu allows you to create, enter, change, or disable the user
password. It also allows service personnel to use the factory default
password.
