System Security

The PACSystems CPU supports two types of system security:
▪
Passwords/privilege levels
▪
OEM protection
CPU versions 7.80 and later support Enhanced Security (including merged password tables). This
provides a more secure mechanism for setting and authenticating passwords and OEM keys versus the
Legacy Security Mode. Refer to the Important Product Information document for the CPU model and
firmware version that you are using.
For Enhanced Security operation, see Enhanced Security for Passwords and OEM Protection. A summary
of operational differences between Enhanced and Legacy Security modes is provided at
Legacy/Enhanced Security Comparison.
