Section Eight: Password Protection with GRQ Remote
8.8.2. Setting or Changing Passwords
Only an ADMINISTRATOR can set passwords. However, until passwords are set, all users of the
GRAPHI-Q will be allowed ADMINISTRATOR access. Therefore, if security is a concern, the first person
to use the GRAPHI-Q should set passwords. To do this, open the PASSWORD screen from the Tool
Bar at the top of the main screen. The PASSWORD screen looks like this:
Click the EDIT PASSWORD box.
The three password boxes will
change to zero. Type up to a 5-
number code (numbers only, no
letters) in each of the password
boxes (make sure you remember
the passwords!), then click SAVE
PASSWORD. Then close the
screen. You have now entered the
passwords necessary for varying
levels of access to the GRAPHI-Q
controls. When the software is
restarted, any user will be required
to provide the appropriate pass-
word to gain access to the allowed
security level.
Passwords may be reset at any time, but only by the ADMINISTRATOR. The ADMINISTRATOR can
always select EDIT PASSWORD from the password screen and enter new codes at any time.
Note that passwords are saved within the unit itself, not within the remote software. If two GRAPHI-Qs
connected to two separate computers are swapped, the access password will follow the GRAPHI-Q.
8.8.3. Gaining Access With Your Password
Once passwords have been entered, one of the three codes must be given to allow access to the security
level allowed. If no matching password is provided, the user will be allowed access at the VISITOR level
only. If you gain entry at one security level and qualify for higher access (meaning you know the next
level’s password), you can enter the higher level password at any time after opening the PASSWORD
screen. If you forget your password, call Sabine for the secret backdoor password, and be prepared at
the time of your call to prove you own the unit!
8.8.4. Removing Password Protection
The ADMINISTRATOR can at any time remove password protection by entering a password of 0 (zero)
at Administrator level.
8.8.5. Passwords For Multiple Units
In a multiple unit serial chain, any PASSWORDS saved will apply to the first unit, and will be copied to
all units downstream in the serial chain. Any units that are separated from the serial chain in place at
the time of saving passwords, will retain the same passwords in a new setup. If units with previously
designated passwords are subsequently joined in a serial chain, only the password for the first unit will
be required to access the entire network. If passwords are changed, the changes will be automatically
copied to all units in the network. If passwords are NOT changed, and units are subsequently separated
into new configurations, each will retain its original password.
