User access to the Field Panel Web Server is controlled through individual User
Accounts. Each User Account has access levels determined by a system
administrator, which grant or deny permissions to work with the specific applications
and features of the Field Panel Web Server.
User Accounts are password protected. The passwords are encrypted when they are
entered by the user at the Web Server User Interface.
When a User Account is created, a password expiration time can be determined by the
system administrator. If a user account is created with an expiration date on the
password, and if a user attempts to log in to that account three times using an incorrect
password, the User Account will be locked, requiring a system administrator to unlock
it. A locked User Account can be unlocked through a modification to the User Account
by a system administrator.
For more information about access levels and passwords, see the

Users

section and
the TALON Controllers User's Manual (588-580).
Language Support

Dynamic text

refers to text that lists object names, descriptors, state text, and other
information that can be defined by the user.

Static text

refers to text in the user interfaces (HMI, Web Server user interface, and
FINlite Graphics Tool), such as menu titles, labels, error messages, and other
information that cannot be modified by the user.
Dynamic text support requires appropriate host computer regional settings or the
specified language.
Static text support at the Web Server user interface and FINlite Graphics Tool requires
downloading the appropriate language (.mo) files in the appropriate place. See the

Setup

section and the
FINlite Graphics Tool
sections for information on selecting a
static language.
Static and dynamic text support at the HMI requires downloading the appropriate
language files during firmware loading via Firmware Loading Tool (FLT), typically
English and a second language (French, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese).
See the TALON Controllers User's Manual (588-580) for more information about
language support.

Importing a Language File

Additional language (.mo) files can be downloaded from Vantage Web site into the field
panel via FTP or a USB memory device. These language files will then become
accessible by the user interface for static text display.
