Security Strategy
The operator interface can be configured with security features to prevent unauthorized
changes to the various settings that can be changed from the menu system, such as gain,
polarity, etc. Security features are disabled by default but are easily configured and enabled.
Access to every menu is individually programmable for one of three authorization levels. The
following text describes the customer-configurable security strategy.
Authorization Levels
Security features are designed around three authorization levels with three access modes for
each level. When security is enabled, the current login authorization level is indicated by a
“key” icon in the status bar with the authorization level next to it. Level 1 has the lowest
privileges and level 3 has the highest. If security is not in use, these icons will not appear.
The three authorization levels and their associated icons are described below.
OPERATOR LEVEL 1 This level requires no password knowledge and is
intended to have the most restrictions.
PRIVILEGED OPERATOR/SUPERVISOR This level is intended for operators
who are able to make some adjustments.
ADMINISTRATOR The administrator normally has unrestricted access to all
menus, but if desired, even this level can be configured for restricted access
to any menu as long as it is not related to administrative activities.
