If you cannot access the Admin menu, it may be password protected.

Password-Protecting the Interfaces, Factory Settings, and Calibration

You can password-protect access to the LAN and USB interfaces as well as the non-volatile RAM reset and the calibration functions. This capability is available in the System\Admin menu.

As shipped from the factory, the Admin menu password is 0 (zero). This means that you do not have to enter a password to access the Admin menu. Simply select System\Admin\Login and press Enter.

To password-protect the Admin menu, select System\Admin\ Password. The password must be numeric, and up to 15 digits long. When done, log out of the Admin menu to activate the password. You can now only enter the Admin menu by providing the right password.

If the password is lost, access can be restored by setting an internal switch to reset the password to 0. If the message “Locked out by internal switch setting” or “Calibration is inhibited by switch setting” appears, the internal switch is set to prevent the password from being changed (Refer to the Service Guide).

Restoring the Non-volatile Factory Settings

Remote interface settings are stored in non-volatile memory. The factory-shipped interface settings documented in the following table are optimized for connecting your power system to a site network. They should also work well for other network configurations.

These factory-shipped LAN settings can be restored by selecting the Reset control in the System\IO\LAN\Config\Reset menu.

All non-volatile settings including LAN, can be restored by selecting the Reset control located in the System\Admin\Nvram menu.
