10.4 Account management
A user account system is provided to allow an administrator to give access rights to
different classes of user. The system provides accounts for administrator and user
account types. The default username
root and password ut72 should be used to gain
initial access to the module. Once logged on, additional accounts should be added as
required, with key members of the engineering staff having supervisor access. It is
recommended that a policy is put into place to ensure that passwords are recorded
elsewhere.
There is a limit on the number of active user accounts allowed, this limit is fixed at 10
and includes logged-in users and any communication accounts in use (e.g. FTP,
EtherNet/IP, etc.).
The maximum number of active logged-in user accounts is 5.
10.5 Adding new accounts
In order to add a new account you will need to follow the instructions below:
1. Log on to the web pages using the root or an administrator account.
2. Choose the top level CONFIGURATION menu then the Security menu.
3. Select “Add/Modify/Remove user accounts”.
4. Click on “New”.
5. Enter the details as requested in the menu.

10.5.1 Administrator accounts
Administrator accounts are intended to provide a high level of access to the drive and
module settings. An administrator account should be reserved for engineering staff who
have a thorough understanding of the drive, SM-Ethernet and the system. Where
possible more than one person should be given administration privileges. An
administrative account is required for adding/removing accounts.
10.5.2 Other user accounts
Other user accounts should be used for engineers that need to make changes to the
system occasionally, different account types are available depending on the facilities
and features required. For more information see section 10.6
Security levels on
page 89.
A good company policy on passwords can help prevent problems occurring due to lost
passwords.
NOTE
Following changes to the root account password SM-Ethernet should be reset using the
reset function on the web pages.
