Security
Security of your power equipment is a critical issue. The PXG600E
incorporates a multi-layer set of security features to ensure your facility is
not compromised while providing you powerful connectivity capabilities.
Password Protection
The PXG600E provides a two-level password authorization mechanism to
control access to data via the web user interface or from the web services
interface used by the Power Xpert Software.
The “user level” of authorization provides:
•
“View only” access to data from the downstream devices
•
Ability to view trend data as well as view data, event and interval logs
•
Ability to download waveforms
The “user level” access does not allow for any configuration changes to the
PXG600E itself.
The “admin level” of authorization allows for reading and setting data in
downstream devices. Admin level also allows for configuration changes to
the PXG600E.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, immediately change
the user and admin passwords after the initial login. Refer to
Configuration of Password on page 99
for details.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, only provide the
admin password to those individuals who will need to configure the
PXG600E or trigger device actions.
Secure Web Browsing
You have the option to encrypt exchanges with the PXG600E’s embedded
web server. This will ensure that information and passwords exchanged with
the PXG’s web server cannot be intercepted on the LAN. To login to the
secure web server you must install a root Certificate Authority (CA). Refer to
Root Certificate Authority Installation on page 207
.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, use the SSL
connection to the PXG600E web UI by entering HTTPS://192.168.1.1
(if using default IP address) in your web browser.
