Initial Connection
Security passwords
There are four role based user accounts for the gateway with varying levels of access. The table
below describes this access.
Each of the initial passwords for the user accounts is default. It is recommended, for security
purposes, that these passwords are changed. The administrator password should be
appropriately noted when changed. If it is lost, please contact Emerson Process Management for
technical support.
To change the User Accounts Passwords:
1. Navigate to System Settings>Users>User Accounts.
2. Set the new password for each role based user account, and confirm.
3. Select Submit.
Note
It is suggested that the default security settings in System Settings>Users>User Accounts be
changed to the local IT best practices or the “Normal” setting after initial login. Strong or
custom settings are available for more robust passwords. For more information on this screen
and others please see the User Interface Terminology Guide (00809-0600-4420).
Time settings
The Gateway is the timekeeper for the WirelessHART network, so it is imperative that the
Gateway's time is accurate for timestamp data to be meaningful. Time settings can be found by
navigating to System Settings>Time.
