GE v6 user manual Weak Encryption Key, Why a Host PC Dials a Micro, Why Cant I Delete a Record?

W

Weak Encryption Key

Weak encryption implies that the key could be unscrambled with a realistic amount of processing capacity and within a reasonable amount of time.

In Secure Perfect, a message displays informing you that an assigned key is too weak and therefore, invalid. Corrections must be made before the record can be saved. We recommend entering 48 unique hex characters, in three 16-character strings. Do not repeat any character. Do not create a pattern.

Why a Host PC Dials a Micro

Whenever a change is made to a form that requires an update to the micro database, such as changes to the Person Form, the host will dial the micro with the changes.

If you make many changes, the micro may go to idle between your changes causing a disconnection with the host. Then, the host will need to dial the micro back to download the next change. You have two options available to work around this situation:

1.Increase the idle time (found on the Parameters Form, Communication Settings tab) on the micro that will give you more time to make the changes. Secure Perfect Server services must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

2.Put the micro offline, make the changes and then put the micro online. The host will automatically dial the micro and download the changes.

Why Can't I Delete a Record?

Some forms, such as the Digital Output Status Form and the Manual Control Form, do not contain a Delete button because they display only status information. Other forms, such as the Reader Form, Alarm Form, Alarm Group Form, Digital Output Form, and the Digital Output Group Form, also do not contain a Delete button.

To keep the system stable, NO ONE is given permission to delete these records, not even a System Administrator. These records are deleted when the associated micro is deleted. However, on other forms, you may be assigned delete permission. If you can’t delete on those forms, you do not have permission to delete.
