5.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 Configuration
Setup of the M650 meters is most easily performed using the web interface via the
Ethernet service port. Basic configuration can also be handled from the front display
by entering the setup mode.
5.2 HTML Web Server
The M650 incorporates an internet-compatible HTML web page.
5.3 Passwords
Passwords can be setup through the web interface in the 50 Series for use in
controlling access to configuration and other functions available through the Ethernet
port or the front panel display. Passwords may be comprised of the 95 printable
ASCII characters as defined by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters which includes 0-9, a-z,
A-Z, and special characters with the exception of the tilde character (~) . Passwords
may have maximum length of 20 characters and a minimum of 1 character.
Passwords prompts are disabled by leaving the new password field blank and clicking
the 'Change Password' button. The default from the factory is to have no password
set.
The password is used to authenticate a session when prompted. The session
authentication will last until the user clicks the 'Log Out' link on the upper right corner
of the Web Interface or after five minutes elapses. Authentication will be required
when attempting the following actions:

Resetting demand and energy values on the Web Interface Resets page

Applying changes to any settings on the Web Interface Settings tab

Uploading new firmware on the Firmware Upload page

Changing the password on the Password Security page

Rebooting the IED
The Password Security page includes the Front Panel Configuration Lock, which may
be used to prevent access to the following actions:

Setup Mode on the Front Panel (see section 5.5)

Demand Resets from the Front Panel (section 6.9.4).

Home Screen selection from the Front Panel (section 4.1.2)
If these options are attempted while the lock is enabled, the message 'Locked' will be
briefly displayed on the front panel alphanumeric display for M65x.
