Configuring advanced security using ION Enterprise
If you are using Designer software follow the instructions below.
1. Launch Designer software with Supervisor access. From the File menu choose
Open... and select the meter you want to configure with Advanced security.
2. If the toolbox is not displayed, choose Options from the main menu and select
Show Toolbox.
3. If you do not want to allow front panel programming using the Standard
security meter password then double-click on the Display Options module and
change the Front Panel Programming register to disallow.
NOTE
If you allow front panel programming when you set up Advanced security, the meter password (used in
Standard security) is still active through the front panel. You may need to allow front panel programming
if someone installs the meter in the field and needs to make setup modifications. Once the meter is
installed, you can disallow front panel programming so that Advanced security user names and
passwords must be used to view or change meter information.
4. Double-click on the Meter Security Setup folder.
For each user you want to configure, drag out a Security User module from the
Toolbox, and modify the appropriate access level setup registers.
5. Click the Change Password button at the bottom left of the module setup screen
to configure a password. The default password is zero (0).
Click OK when you have configured the users.
6. Right-click on the Security Options module.
7. Double-click on any setup register and use the drop-down menu to change the
register setting or label.
