Viewing the Security Log

BESTCOMSPlus Navigation Path: Metering Explorer, Reports, Security Log

HMI Navigation Path: Not available through the front panel

The BE1-11t records information about user logins including the port used to log in, the access level
granted, the type of action performed, and the time of logout and creates security logs. A log will also be
triggered when a user attempts to log in, but fails due to an invalid username or incorrect password.

A maximum of 200 entries are stored in nonvolatile memory. When a new entry is generated, the BE1-11t
discards the oldest of the 200 entries and replaces it with a new one.

Use the Metering Explorer to open the Reports, Security Log screen. If an active connection to a BE1-11t
is present, the security log will automatically download. Using the Options button, you can copy, print, or
save the security log. The Refresh button is used to refresh/update the security log. The Clear button will
clear the security log. The Toggle Sorting button enables sorting. Click on a column header to sort. See
Figure 220.
