Furthermore, since the "SecureUser" used in secure user mode does not have
administrator rights,
administrative tasks
such as LAN configuration and some
general instrument settings are not available. Refer to the description of the basic
instrument setup ([SETUP] menu) to find out which functions are affected.
Activating and deactivating secure user mode
Only a user with administrator rights can activate the secure user mode. Once
activated, a restart is required. The special user "SecureUser" is then logged on
to the R&S
ESW automatically using the automatic login function. While the
secure user mode is active, a message is displayed in the status bar at the bot-
tom of the screen.
Secure Passwords
By default, the initial password for both the administrator account ("Instru-
ment") and the "SecureUser" account is "894129". When the secure user
mode is activated the first time after installation, you are prompted to
change the passwords for all user accounts to improve system security.
Although it is possible to continue without changing the passwords, it is
strongly recommended that you do so.
You can change the password in Microsoft Windows for any user at any
time via:
"Start > Settings > Account > SignIn Options > Password > Change"
To deactivate the secure user mode, the "SecureUser" must log off and the
"Instrument" user (administrator) must log on.
Switching users when using the automatic login function
In the "Start" menu, select the arrow next to the "Shut down" button and
then "Log off".
The "Login" dialog box is displayed, in which you can enter the different
user account name and password.
The secure user mode setting and automatic login is automatically deactivated
when the "Instrument" user logs on. The "SecureUser" is no longer available.
For administrators ("Instrument" user), the secure user mode setting is available
in the general system configuration settings ([Setup] key > "System Configura-
