ION Enterprise Software
ION Enterprise software offers control capabilities and comprehensive power
quality and reliability analysis. It is a powerful software suite that can process,
analyze, store, and share data across your entire enterprise. The fully networked
client-server information system allows you to access data from any workstation,
locally or around the world, in the formats you need. With ION Enterprise you can
manage an intelligent ION metering network, monitoring and controlling
individual devices, analyzing data, and deciding on new courses of action.
ION Enterprise software has four main components, each with their own user
interfaces. These applications are the ION Management Console, Vista, Designer,
and Reporter.

Software Security
The software security system limits how you can use ION software to view meter
data and send configuration changes to ION meters. A valid user account and
password are required to log on to any ION software application. Each access
level, or authority, that is specified for a user account defines the types of
operations available in each application, so you may not necessarily be allowed to
view or configure meter information if your authority does not permit it.
ION Enterprise provides two default software security settings: guest and
supervisor. Both of these default security settings use 0 (zero) for the password,
and enable the highest level of authority which allows complete control of the
system.
N OTE
Since both the software and the meter use password security, you may need to enter the software
password, meter password, or both depending on the function you are performing.
For details on software security configuration, refer to the technical note
ION Security.
