Configuring System Passphrase - LG MultiSITE VM3 Startup Manual

RUNNING THE COMMISSIONING WIZARD

Configuring system passphrase

In this Commissioning Wizard step, you specify a passphrase to replace the factory default passphrase. A strong password is required (a
minimum of 10 characters and include at least one uppercase character, at least one lowercase character, and at least one digit).
The system passphrase is used to protect sensitive information stored on all Niagara systems, and on the micro SD card in MultiSITE VM3
controllers. The system passphrase is assigned as the file passphrase for "portable" files, such as backups and station copies, and is used
to encrypt those files. During operations in which you transfer encrypted files to a system (restoring backups, transferring a station, etc.) you
are prompted to enter the file passphrase if it doesn't match the system passphrase for the target system.
1. Enter the Current Passphrase for the MultiSITE VM3 (typically the factory default platform).
2. Enter a strong password in the New Passphrase and Confirm New Passphrase fields. Your entries must match in both of these fields.
3. Click Next to continue.

Note:
When you create a system passphrase be sure to make a note of it and guard it carefully. If you lose the system passphrase, you will lose
access to encrypted data. You can change the system passphrase using the Platform Administration tool.
