BE1-BPR Functional Description

4-13

A second dimension of security is provided. Passwords may be configured to operate at different access

ports. An access port designation of F allows access only at the front panel (COM 0 serial port and the

front panel display/keyboard). An access port designation of R allows access only at the rear panel (COM

1 serial port). An access port designation of B allows access at both the front and rear panels. Password

protection for a specific access area may be disabled by programming the password to be 0 (zero).

Password protection for all passwords may be disabled by programming PW1 as a 0. If a particular

password is disabled, then no prompts to "ENTER PASSWORD” will be given when programming the

protected functions for that password.

Password Protection Example:
If the following password protection is desired:

Area 1 changes to only be performed from the front panel by personnel with the password OPENUP.

Area 2 changes to be performed with no password required but only from the front panel.

Area 3 changes to be performed from either the front or rear panels by personnel with the password

BKRGRP.

Area 4 control to be accessed from the front panel by personnel with the password TEST.


The passwords are programmed as follows:
ACCESS=BPR

ACCESS GRANTED LEVEL 1
PW1=OPENUP,F

Password for Area 1.

PW2=0,F

Password for Area 2.

PW3=BKRGRP,B

Password for Area 3.

PW4=TEST,F

Password for Area 4.
