17.3. Password utility
The utility program Password generates access codes based on global codes
When installing TWinSoft Suite a password-creation program named Password Generator is installed in
the same directory as TWinSoft. It can be started from the 'Start' button of Windows and is located in the
group of programs “Techno Trade”

“Accessories” created while installing TWinSoft.
This program generates passwords needed to Login to
TB
OX
LT2
when access security has been
activated (see above).
A password is composed of 4 or 8 hexadecimal characters in response to information related to the user.
It is based on a complex algorithm using the global code (=key), the user’s name and the access level. A
5-digit number (User Id) allows identifying the user accessing
TB
OX
LT2
. This User Id can be used to trace
users for example by inserting this number into datalogging (chronologies), with the help of Analog
Communication Variables (see chapter 8.3.2.).
Global code
This hexadecimal code of 4 or 8 characters is the basis for password generation. It
is typed in the ‘RTU Properties’ (see above) of TWinSoft and sent to
TB
OX
LT2
.
When a user logs in,
TB
OX
LT2
checks whether NAME and PASSWORD fit with the
global code. This means that if different users with different access levels must
communicate with
TB
OX
LT2
, the global code used to generate passwords must
be the same.
User name The NAME you use as login.
Access level Three access levels are available:

Level 1: Surveillance mode or VISUALIZATION MODE. The operator can view all
TB
OX
LT2
values (local or remote), but cannot execute any command.

Level 2: COMMAND MODE, the operator can view all the values and execute commands
(locally or remotely).

Level 3: ENGINEER MODE, the operator can view all the values and execute commands
and alter or send new TWinSoft documents (locally or remotely).
When this information has been entered, click on the button "Get password".
