Appendix A.4. Security Codes
The RS-232 security code is an optional six-digit code used to limit external serial access to
the system for security purposes. It can be set to any unique set of characters using either
the front panel switches or the external communication interface setup commands. The
system will not respond to a command without the proper security code, if the DIP switch is
set to enable RS-232 security.
A four-position DIP switch is located on the CPU board, which is mounted in the right-back
of the console printer compartment. The DIP switch is next to the battery switch. The DIP
switch enables the security code and the switch positions are assigned as follows:
Switch
1
Front Panel Setup Security Enable
2
RS-232 Security Enable
3, 4
Unused
If RS-232 security is enabled then the
Route parameter
must be specified for the node. Set
the route parameter equal to the security code. Use a period to separate each digit of the
code.
Example: Security Code=234419
Set Route = 2.3.4.4.1.9
Special Note for security codes with alphabetic characters : Alphabetic characters cannot be
directly specified in the route field. They need to be specified as ASCII values.
Example : Security Code = 123abc
Set Route = 1.2.3.97.98.99
If the security feature has been disabled on the panel the set the route to zero as illustrated
in the following CSV file fragment.
