Creating A Back-Up Copy; Changing The Password For The Operating System - Siemens SIMATIC RF310M Operating Instructions Manual

5.3.1

Creating a back-up copy

Create a backup copy so that you can restore the saved status of the device when
necessary.
Requirement
The reader is connected to the PC.
Procedure
Copy all the data from the directory "Flash Disk" to your PC. See also section Data transfer
between the PC and reader (Page 88).
Note
Do not delete files with the extension ".PFL"
Files with the extension ".PFL" in the "Flash Disk" directory are used to restore the status
that existed at the time of the last back-up and must therefore not be modified or deleted. If
the files with the ending ".PFL" are damaged or lost, the original status of the device can only
be restored at the factory.
To restore a backup, replace all the data on the device with your backup copy and then run a
system reset.
5.3.2

Changing the password for the operating system

Assign a password to protect the system from unauthorized access.
Prerequisite
The operating mode must be set to "Supervisor". See Chapter Operating modes (Page 24)
Procedure for changing the password
To change the password of the operating system, select "Start > Security". Enter the
previous password. The password on delivery is "123456".
You can assign a new password using the button "Set Password".
