Handling Security Issues

APWeb – Initial Setup by Network Admin

Handling Security Issues

APWeb’s system security limits access to the site. The security setup is explained on page 71. We recommend that the following security measures be followed:

Leave system security turned on (the default setting). Place the APWeb server site inside your network firewall.

Set the account profiles as part of the initial setup (see page 71). Deploy APWeb in a secure LAN environment.

If extra precaution is necessary, lock the enclosure(s) in a secure location.

Caution: Even if the site security is turned on, the BCS tunnel is not authenticated. We strongly recommend that this service be turned off when not in use (see page 74).

Turning System Security Off

The option to turn system security on and off is on the Account Profile / Site Security page (accessed by clicking the Authentication button on the Administration page).

To turn system security off:

1.From any page in the site, click the Administration link.

2.Under Account Profile / Site Security, click Authentication. The Account Profile / Site Security page opens.

3.Under Disable Site Security, enter the Admin user name and password (Admin default – super and super).

4.Click Turn Security Off. System security is turned off.

To turn system security back on:

1.Repeat Steps 1 through 3 above.

2.Click Turn Security On. System security is turned on.

Resetting the User Name & Password

If any of the client-defined user names and passwords are lost, the Service switch below the TCP/IP (RJ-45) connector can be used to reset them to the default values (all values including those for the IP Address and Subnet Mask are reset in the process). When the switch is flipped to the left, it is set for normal functioning. As long as security is turned on (the default setting), a password is required to access the APWeb server. When the Service switch is flipped to the right (FIG. 41), it is set for Service mode and the APWeb server is disabled.

Caution: The steps on the following page will also automatically reset the default values for the IP Address and Subnet Mask.
