5.1.2.8. COM Port Password Security
In order to provide security for remote access of the T101, a LOGON feature can be
enabled to require a password before the instrument will accept commands. This is done
by turning on the
SECURITY MODE (Section 4.10.8). Once the SECURITY MODE is
enabled, the following items apply.
•
A password is required before the port will respond or pass on commands.
•
If the port is inactive for one hour, it will automatically logoff, which can
also be achieved with the LOGOFF command.
•
Three unsuccessful attempts to log on with an incorrect password will
cause subsequent logins to be disabled for 1 hour, even if the correct
password is used.
•
If not logged on, the only active command is the '?' request for the help
screen.
• The following messages will be returned at logon:
o
LOGON SUCCESSFUL - Correct password given
o
LOGON FAILED - Password not given or incorrect
o
LOGOFF SUCCESSFUL - Connection terminated successfully
To log on to the Model T101 analyzer with SECURITY MODE feature enabled, type:
LOGON 940331
940331 is the default password. To change the default password, use the variable
RS232_PASS issued as follows:
V RS232_PASS=NNNNNN
N is any numeral between 0 and 9.
5.1.2.9. APICOM Remote Control Program
APICOM is an easy-to-use, yet powerful interface program that allows accessing and
controlling any of Teledyne ML’s main line of ambient and stack-gas instruments from a
remote connection through direct cable, modem or Ethernet. Running APICOM, a user
can:
•
Establish a link from a remote location to the T101 through direct cable
connection via RS-232 modem or Ethernet.
• View the instrument’s front panel and remotely access all functions that
could be accessed when standing in front of the instrument.
•
Remotely edit system parameters and set points.
• Download, view, graph and save data for predictive diagnostics or data
analysis.
•
Retrieve, view, edit, save and upload DAS configurations.
• Check on system parameters for trouble-shooting and quality control.
APICOM is very helpful for initial setup, data analysis, maintenance, and trouble-
shooting. Figure 4-16 shows an example of APICOM being used to remotely
configuration the instrument’s DAS feature. Figure 4-20 shows examples of APICOM’s main
interface, which emulates the look and functionality of the instrument’s actual front panel
