CHAPTER 13: SECURITY
ENERVISTA SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
D90
PLUS
LINE DISTANCE PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
613
The D90
Plus
provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. Should
password verification fail while accessing a password-protected level of the relay (either
settings or commands), the
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
operand is asserted. The operand can be
programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts. Therefore, to
apply this feature with security, the command level should be password-protected. The
operand does not generate events.
EnerVista security management system
The EnerVista security management system is a role-based access control (RBAC) system
that allows a security administrator to easily manage the security privileges of multiple
users. This allows for access control of UR
Plus
-series devices by multiple personnel within a
substation and conforms to the principles of RBAC as defined in ANSI INCITS 359-2004.
The EnerVista security management system is disabled by default to allow the
administrator direct access to the EnerVista software after installation. It is recommended
that security be enabled before placing the device in service.
Enabling the security management system
The EnerVista security management system is disabled by default. This allows access to
the device immediately after installation. When security is disabled, all users are granted
administrator access.
