Secure user mode
If the secure user mode option (R&S
ESW-K33) is installed, an additional account is
provided: the
"SecureUser"
.
The "SecureUser" is a standard user account with limited functionality. In particular,
administrative tasks such as LAN configuration or general instrument settings are not
available. Furthermore, for a "SecureUser", data that the R&S
ESW normally stores on
the solid-state drive is redirected to volatile memory instead. You can access data that
is stored in volatile memory during the current instrument session. However, when the
instrument’s power is removed, all data in volatile memory is erased.
For details, see
Chapter 4.7, "Protecting Data Using the Secure User Mode"
Automatic login
For the administrator account, an automatic login function is active by default. If activa-
ted, login is carried out automatically for the administrator (with full access) in the back-
ground when the R&S
ESW is started, without having to enter a password. This func-
tion is active until you explicitly deactivate it or change the password.
For information on how to deactivate or reactivate the automatic login, refer to
ter 4.2.3.1, "Automatic Login Function"
Passwords
For all default user accounts, the initial password is
894129
. Note that this password is
very weak, and it is recommended that you change the password for both users after
initial login.
To change the password in Microsoft Windows
1. From the Windows desktop, select "Start > Settings > Account > SignIn Options >
Password > Change".
When the secure user mode is activated the first time after installation, the user is
prompted to change the passwords for all user accounts to improve system secur-
ity.
2. When you change the default passwords, the default auto-login function no longer
works. Change the password for the auto-login function, as well, as described in
"Adapting the automatic login function to a new password"
4.2.3.1
Automatic Login Function
When shipped, the instrument automatically logs on the default "Instrument" user to
Microsoft Windows using the default password.
