SebaDataView-3 software Password protection 7.7.1 Introduction Ex works, the SebaDataView-3 software works without password protection, that is, any user can access and work without restriction. No password is requested. It is possible to restrict access to the application so that only authorized persons can work with it.
Extend password protection to devices The SebaDataView-3 password protection can be extended from the software to SebaKMT devices, so that these devices can only be used by authorized persons. You will find more information in a separate section of this manual.
The passwords for the SebaDataView-3 login can be changed if necessary. NOTE If the passwords are changed in the SebaDataView-3 software, password- protected SebaKMT devices can no longer be contacted via the SebaDataView-3, since access to these devices is still protected with the previous passwords.
SebaDataView-3 software 7.7.5 Disable password protection Users with User level 1 access can completely reset the password protection of the SebaDataView-3. The application then works again without login. Proceed as follows: Step Description Start the software and log in to User level 1. Click on the water drop symbol in the top left.
