6.4.2 Security

Change user names, access privileges and passwords.
Note.

User 1 is the System Administrator and is able to change user names/access privileges and enter initial passwords for all
users. Other users cannot change their user names and access privileges once set by User 1. All users may change their
own passwords.

All other parameters can be changed only by the System Administrator (User 1).

Set the method of access to the Configuration level. If
'Password protected' is selected, access is by means of the
password set above.
Note. If 'Internal switch protected' is selected, access to the
Configuration level for all users is prohibited once the changes
have been saved and made active. Access to the configuration
level is then achieved only by setting the internal security switch
to the 'Configuration Level Not Protected' position – see
Fig. 6.2, page 53.
When set to 'On', access to the Setup level is password
protected and restricted to users with setup access privileges.
Each user must enter their own unique password.
Passwords are entered initially by the System Administrator but,
subsequently, any user can change their own password. When
this parameter is set to 'Yes', each user must change their
password after it is used for the first time following initial
configuration – see also 'User 2 Password' on page 66.
Enter the time period after which all passwords will expire. After
this period of time, all users have to change their passwords.
Enter the time period after which an inactive user's access
privileges are de-activated. A user is considered inactive if their
password has not been used. A user is de-activated by removal
of their access privileges and can be re-activated only by the
System Administrator (User 1).
