Meter Security

 

 

Meter Security

The meter’s security settings allow you to configure the meter through the front panel, with ION software, or with the optional embedded web server.

Standard meter security

Anytime you make configuration changes to your meter, either through the front panel or with ION software, you must enter a password.

Anti-tamper sealing

Your revenue meter can be protected by anti-tamper sealing.

Software security

ION software security brings access-level security to the meter. With ION software, you can configure multiple users with different passwords and specify access rights. For example, one user may have view-only rights, while another user may have meter configuration rights. ION software security only applies to users who are accessing the meter via ION software.

For more information on meter security, refer to the ION Security technical note in

Appendix A.

Standard Meter Security

Standard meter security lets you configure the meter through the front panel or with communications software using a meter password.

This section describes password security options available from the front panel of the meter. Step-by-step instructions are given to help you enter, or change the meter password and disable (enable) the password security check on the front panel of the meter.

Entering the Password through the Front Panel

The first time you make a change to any setting you are presented with the Password display. The factory configured password is zero (0). The password prevents unauthorized tampering with your meter’s configuration. Depending on site security, you may want to modify the user password from the default to protect your configuration. The default password is “0” and can be set to a maximum numeric value of 99999999.
