Sync Date and Time to PC — Click this button to force the SMD 101 date and time to sync with the connected control PC.

Date — Press the Calendar icon on the right side of this field to manually select the current date from the calendar dialog box.

Time — Use the scroll list buttons, or enter the time directly to set the current time.

Time Zone — Use the drop-down list to select your time zone.

Save/Cancel — Save the time and date or cancel the entries.

Password

The password page provides user and administrator (admin) ID passwords for security and to limit access. No other login IDs are available. The admin password provides access to all pages and all selections to anyone logging on with Login ID: admin. Prior to an admin password being set, there is no security challenge to access the SMD 101. Any user who accesses the interface has full administrator privilege.

Figure 38. Password Page

An administrator password can be set without setting a user password. When only an admin password is enabled, the user login is inactive. All users must login using the admin ID and administrator password for access.
