Configuring advanced security using ION Enterprise

If you are using Designer software follow the instructions below.

1.Launch Designer software with Supervisor access. From the File menu choose Open... and select the meter you want to configure with Advanced security.

2.If the toolbox is not displayed, choose Options from the main menu and select Show Toolbox.

3.If you do not want to allow front panel programming using the Standard security meter password then double-click on the Display Options module and change the Front Panel Programming register to disallow.

NOTE

If you allow front panel programming when you set up Advanced security, the meter password (used in Standard security) is still active through the front panel. You may need to allow front panel programming if someone installs the meter in the field and needs to make setup modifications. Once the meter is installed, you can disallow front panel programming so that Advanced security user names and passwords must be used to view or change meter information.

4.Double-click on the Meter Security Setup folder.

For each user you want to configure, drag out a Security User module from the Toolbox, and modify the appropriate access level setup registers.

5.Click the Change Password button at the bottom left of the module setup screen to configure a password. The default password is zero (0).

Click OK when you have configured the users.

6.Right-click on the Security Options module.

7.Double-click on any setup register and use the drop-down menu to change the register setting or label.
