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.
