Using Connection Passwords And Confirmation Ids - Siemens SIPROTEC 5 V7.80 Operation

11.7

Using Connection Passwords and Confirmation IDs

Siemens recommends that the connection password and confirmation ID be kept close. This is organized in
the corresponding department of the power utility. You can assign different confirmation IDs to different user
roles for switching operations and other safety-relevant operations. Only authorized persons may have access
to this data.
The reset procedure exists for the rare case that you forgot the connection password. If the connection pass-
word query in your protection device has been activated, this means that you cannot establish a connection to
your SIPROTEC 5 device without entering the password. If the confirmation ID is also not present, you cannot
gain any write access to the device with DIGSI 5 or the on-site operation panel.
Resetting the Connection Password
Switch to the Device functions menu in the main menu of the device.
²
Select the Security → Password recovery menu item.
²
Confirm resetting of the password with the Ok softkey or cancel the operation with Esc.
²
Enter the confirmation ID 222222 and confirm it by pressing Enter.

Next, enter the following keyboard shortcut as recovery code:
²
<1>, <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>, <6>, <FN>+<1>, <FN>+<2>, <FN>+<3>, <FN>+<4>, <FN>+<5> and <FN>+<6>

Remove the battery from the device.
²
Wait for about 2 minutes.

Insert the battery into the device.

If the battery of the device no longer functions or has been taken out, the connection password will be
deactivated after restarting the device.
Using DIGSI 5 reset the confirmation ID for the offline configuration of the device as well (see
tion ID).
For this purpose, use the DIGSI 5 dialog Have you forgotten one of the confirmation IDs or the
²
connection password?
The device must now be initialized with the project data that was saved with DIGSI 5 for this device.
Because the connection password was deleted and the confirmation ID reset, the project data for this device
can be transferred easily.
